What is a good way to get better at coding?
Hey guys, so I've been trying to improve my game development skills in a variety of areas to help improve my chances of landing a job in the future. I'm currently attending (and hating) a university with my major being Computer Science. I attend class and write code a lot in my free time but I feel as if I am not ever… -

That site looks pretty cool meshiah, bookedmarked it :D Thanks for the extra tips, I'm not sure how much luck I'd have at finding a personal mentor, I started developing a big unity game when I was a junior in highschool that will hopefully one day be the size of a professional game. I've been working with a team of other… -
Re: What is a good way to get better at coding?
this site is really fun, im no where near coding, and not really interested, but this site made it fun and easy to learn some (most of the languages are there). i hit a wall when trying to do a bunch of math and extrapolation of equations and all that, but learning the code part was easy(and im an art tard).… -

Practice. Lots and tons of practice. I would suggest you start producing some small-scope games. Facing challenges and problems that you DON'T know the solution for is the best way to improve your coding. Programming is the art of problem solving. Simply copying existing solutions won't stretch you. You need to face… -

Stretch yourself. Pick something you don't know how to code and figure it out. If you just do your classwork you're not going to advance as quickly as you'd like, especially if you find it boring. -
Re: What is a good way to get better at coding?
too me programming is just problem solving, just dive head first into a problem, and do some reading and see what you can accomplish. Also it is good to return to your early projects from time to time, i have done this, and have been to accomplish the same things with less code, in a faster more elegant way with my new… -
Re: What is a good way to get better at coding?
Pick something hard and try and code it. Bit by bit. Plan out how you think it should be done, then try and find ways that similar things have been done before. You should start to see what makes them elegant solutions. If you get stuck, rinse Google and stack exchange for all they're worth. Chances are, you'll hit a few… -
Re: What is a good way to get better at coding?
Lots of good info in this thread. I've been learning a bit of programming lately as a way to satisfy my game design cravings. I've been making a prototype for a tactical RPG game and I'm quite amazed at how quickly you learn by working on a "real" project, instead of isolated lessons or tutorials. The main problem I had… -
Re: What is a good way to get better at coding?
Negety, I would advise working on a development team that you're going into. Example: A game Project, you see someone working on a game project ask to put in as extra support if they already have a professional coder and see how he does his thing. You'll learn alot from a personal mentor, by the way, what programming…
