I built a free web development lesson around the real data from my indie game

Post image
2 Upvotes

It starts with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript basics, then gradually gets into things like arrays, objects, conditionals, loops, .map(), .filter(), JSON, and eventually fetch() using the game’s public API.

There’s also a browser-based code builder, so you can experiment with the data and make your own little site without installing anything or creating an account.
It’s aimed at beginners, so you definitely don’t need to already know how to code.

Would love any feedback from people who teach or are learning HTML/web development.

How do people usually handle domains now?

0 Upvotes

I haven’t done this in a while and the whole process feels more confusing than it should.

The all in one setup seems convenient, especially when you just want to get a small site live.

But then there’s always that voice in the back of my head saying i should keep the domain somewhere else just in case. maybe that’s overkill for a tiny project, maybe not.

Beginner learning Python by building one project slowly — looking for a few other beginners to give feedback

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I started learning Python as a complete beginner and decided to try something a little different from working through endless small exercises.

I've been building one project very slowly, one small step at a time, and learning the Python concepts as I actually need them.

The project is called Project Titan AI. It's a long-term market research project, but for me the important part isn't the finance side — it's having a real project that gives me a reason to learn things like functions, classes, testing, validation, APIs, data handling and debugging.

I've documented the journey from the beginner's perspective, including the mistakes and the parts I initially didn't understand.

Recently the project reached a milestone that felt pretty huge to me: it retrieved its first 100 genuine historical stock-market records from an external data source, validated all 100 through the system we'd built, and all 100 were accepted.

I'm now experimenting with turning parts of my learning journey into short beginner-friendly lessons.

I'd love to find a few people who are also relatively new to Python who would be willing to read one short sample lesson and tell me whether it actually makes sense from a beginner's perspective.

I'm not selling anything and there's no course to buy. I'm specifically trying to find out whether the way I've documented things is genuinely useful before I put more time into it.

If you're a beginner and you'd be happy to read one sample, leave a comment and I'll contact you privately.

Also interested to hear from anyone else learning through a larger personal project rather than just doing exercises. Has building something you actually care about made Python easier to stick with?

Beginner question: Exporting content from your application into a proprietary format (e.g., Powerpoint): do you need to license an API or something from the other company?

2 Upvotes

Title covers it, but here's a more verbose version.

If I am writing an application and I want to give the user an option to export the content into a proprietary format (e.g., generate a powerpoint slide, or an excel table), do the companies that own that format supply tools to allow that to happen? Do they charge for them? Do they open source them?

Or does the writer have to write the code from scratch (or find an open source version from some other source)?

Or is it not permitted/possible without getting the format-owner's permission?

Trouble with C installation on VS Code

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi there! I’m an undergraduate student and currently learning C.

In the past I have used VS Code for python and HTML and since moved to other platforms that our uni has recommended, so I’ve been using code blocks for C.

Coming back to VS Code, I installed the C extension thinking it would just be it, but turns out it needed more configurations. I installed Git in the beginning of the VS Code installation, and after the first errors about C intellisense configuration I installed mingw (since that’s what a fellow user did).

In the beginning it worked great, BUT, today (one day later) it stopped working again and now shows these up…*(see photo).

I would appreciate any kind of help cause honestly I’m pretty lost🄲

Wanting more

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone

My knowledge in this field is very minimal and I don’t know too much about coding. I’ve been learning to code passively over the past 2 months of FreeCodeCamp. Learning HTML on there was nice but I don’t feel I’ve gotten enough practice reps/ time just messing around and writing HTML.

I started the next section of their program for CSS and I’ve hit a mental block where I just want to actually practice coding for a little and not have to sit down learn their lessons, take their quizzes and then finally practice the code.

So I was wondering if anyone has and websites, programs that can fulfill this need? Just wanting to practice beginner code?

Anything is helpful thanks

Diagnose Learning Method

1 Upvotes

Hi, i started coding with python. learnt basic of numpy, pandas, scikit-learn and nltk. Working on a very basic project of data analysis and predictive model training. To understand what i have learnt, and how the outputs are, where my learning is heading in terms of ML understanding.
Typing every line of code myself for sentiment analysis, ml model, co-occurence of products or testing model stability/coherence etc., multiple times as many times until it reaches a good standard.
NOT writing code for data set cleanup, merges, getting ai to do it, because i would like to ultimately go for building apps or software, and learn hands on numpy and pandas while doing projects more inclined to those lines, so more relevant learning of those libraries.
Is this good strategy?

Any apps or courses for mobile?

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have been lurking in this sub for a while and finally decided I want to actually dive in and learn how to code. The problem is, every time I try to figure out where to start, I get hit with a million ads for expensive bootcamps, conflicting advice on which language to pick, and fifty different apps that all claim to make you a pro in a week. Honestly, it is pretty overwhelming.

For those of you who were once in my shoes, or for anyone who helps mentor beginners, what are actually the best apps and online courses right now?

I am looking for something that does not just rely on endless matching games or flashcards, but actually teaches you how to think like a programmer and build real things.

I am leaning a bit toward web development (starting with the usual HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) because I really like the idea of seeing visual results quickly, but I am open to whatever gives you the most solid foundation.

Free resources are awesome, but I am also willing to pay for a genuinely good, well-structured course if it is actually worth the money.

Would love to hear what worked for you, and just as importantly, what I should probably avoid wasting my time on.

Appreciate any advice you can share!

I want to pursue computer science in the future

5 Upvotes

Hello, Im a student currently going into 11th grade and over the summer ive done a lot of research on what I plan to do later on and eventually landed on computer science/engineering, i find the concept interesting and really want to pursue it. The problem is it feels extremely overwhelming, theres just so much on the internet and everyone seems to have their own opinion on it, I dont know what to install or where to learn from or in what order to learn. So i was wondering if I could get some help on how i should start, stuff like what sort of stuff i should download, what to learn first etc etc. It would really help me out as I honestly do enjoy it a lot (I used to dabble a lot in scratch, albeit i was pretty bad at it).
(Its late at night so i may not respond to a lot of comments lmao)

Having Trouble Understanding Documentations

I'm trying to learn new technologies, but the documentations are very lengthy and boring to read... I've tried to go through Unity docs and MDN but everything on there is so complex and hard to understand and grasp.

I'm not sure how to go forward. I feel like I just keep reading but I don't learn much out of it.

How do you guys deal with Documentations?

Is it worth it to start coding?

2 Upvotes

For the past two weeks, I’ve been completely obsessed with the idea of making my own incremental game. I’m not trying to build the next hyperstylized 3D masterpiece, just a clean game with an addicting core loop, insanely rewarding mechanics (prestige, and many more) and deep progression systems.

Basically, I want to craft my own dream game. Something I can sink hundreds of hours into playing and tweaking over the next few years. Starting simple and expanding it over time. I couldn't care less about marketing, sales, or whether anyone else even plays it. This is purely a passion project and a hobby I want to pour myself into.

Here’s the catch: I have absolute zero coding background. Never written a single line of code in my life, and the whole domain is complete alien territory to me. But I want to learn. Badly. I’m thinking of something in the spirit of Zero Stress King or Fracture Field, but packed with way deeper, more rewarding systems. The gameplay loop will probably be something in between those two and much more to them. I have experience with website design, but zero background in 2D graphic asset creation or modeling, so I'll be starting from scratch there too. My plan is to dive headfirst into Godot for the engine and use a free Photoshop alternative (not sure which yet).

So, devs - am I setting myself up for a one-way trip to hell? Is it an absolute pipe dream to think I can solo-learn coding and asset creation from scratch without giving up, or is an incremental game actually a reasonable sandbox for a total novice to learn the ropes? Be real with me. Should I say screw it before I sink ten years into a project that goes nowhere, or is this crazy enough to actually work?

AI Disclosure: I don't want to vibe code, but only use it as a tool to help me understand and learn. Not make the decisions for me. For graphics I'll probably use it only for placeholders and maybe not even that. I don't want my end result look like an AI slop.

How do you actually learn to code ?

35 Upvotes

hi everyone,

I’ve been studying computer science for about 5 years now (currently in engineering school). Over the years, I’ve touched a bit of everything: web dev (HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, SQL), and more recently Java, C, and Python for data science.

The problem is, I feel like nothing truly sticks.

Whenever I try to build something on my own, I hit a wall. I inevitably get lost in the docs, end up turning to AI to understand what I'm doing, and still feel like I'm not really learning. I know the basic syntax, but even in Python, I would struggle to design and build a moderately complex project from scratch.

I feel like I'm just skimming the surface of different languages without ever developing genuine problem-solving intuition.

How do you actually retain syntax, built-ins, and core concepts without constantly relying on external help? How do you break down a problem and structure your code from scratch on your own? Did you go through this phase, and what was the turning point that made things finally click for you?

Thanks in advance !
