Give me a tip for someone who doesn't have any programming experience.
#1
I want to learn programming,how should I start? 
My goal is to make a simple game. 
How did you start programming?



#2
Learn the basics first. There are many videos on youtube that will help you. Making a game could be advanced. You could also try "Scratch" to learn the basics and make a "game" at the same time.



#3
also, stackoverflow is your best friend right next to google. if you have a problem, they have a solution

Agreed, stack overflow is the absolute life saver.



#5
Watch youtube tutorials or try a course like freecodecamp. When you know the basics, start with a small game and eventually you'll get to bigger projects.



#6
You can try the book " how to think.like a programmer "

Stackoverflow is good, but when learning any language also don't be afraid to check the documentation.



#8
I was always told RTP/RTM (Read The Page/Read The Manual) and that helps a ton. Also, check out videos on YouTube (may take some digging to find a good one) and check out Udemy for paid courses. On Udemy, make sure you wait to buy until they are on sale.



#9
Go get an course from Udemy, maybe some local courses in your city, and start learning the basic of programming firstly !



#10
adding on, learning to read the documentation is a skill in and of itself. It's not written for the health of the author, but of those who are using it.



#11
Depends on what sort of game you're trying to make, UI is usually the harder part to make everything functional.



#12
I'm always a big fan of Udemy courses. They're usually like $15 and if you get a highly rated one there's a lot of learning potential. They can also be j packed with content.
