grimm auld just like being fluent in English it doesn’t mean that I know every word or grammar rule. It just means that I can confidently use it. The jquery example is a library and I do know jquery but that’s not typically included as being fluent. It’s the language not the thousands of libraries. I’m no master or professional but I do know how to comfortably use the language. I still have many tricks to learn. I will say even after months of learning and using objective-c I am no where near fluent. It is probably one of the most undocumented and hardest languages I have tried learning.

Hey redKB! I 'm subscribed to you and you're awesome! My record on the 3x3 is 8 seconds. You were probably really happy to see Mike Boyd's Rubik's cube videos (2x2, 3x3, 5x5, 2BLD, 3BLD). Anyway, keep on cubing and learning!
Most colleges dont teach you practical coding anymore. its mostly theory and "industry best practices" which will mostly go ignored in any professional setting.
As someone who learnt this in highschool about 10 years ago, I do want to warn you that you can never unlearn it and will always subconsciously do pen tricks when you have it in your hand. Tbh it can get quite frustrating so I'm not sure if I would recommend :P

8:40 Trust me. Even after three years of programming, I still get way too many of those error message and its the same for others around me... Error messages are part of the daily life of a programmer...
Shouldn’t there be an error message reader that’s more visual and allows for the programmer to understand WHERE the error is by highlighting a certain area ?
@@branm5459 how can the error message find the error and highlight the missing code or mistake if it can't find it in the first place? I don't know man I'm not a programmer. This this gets me questioning how computers work. Like you need to code a code or invent a code to be able to code something and code the numbers and when there is a missing code or some kind of error, how does it know what the error is if they cant find it? And if the program sees that there is something missing and can't read it, it won't be able to locate it because it can't friken find it. It just knows something is wrong and not working. How the hell does AI even work?
Actually, most code writing programs already do this, as when an error occurs in the program, it immediately stops. For example, a simple misspelling is easily identified as the program stops there and prints the error and often tells you what line it’s located. I just want to make it so that if your cursor hovers over the error message, it’ll highlight that text and make it more visual, rather than having to decipher where the error would be, as I find that locating errors is often time consuming
It should be taught to kids, programming forces you to learn from your mistakes and accept that mistakes will happen. It would prevent a lot of breakdowns from unrealistic expectations.

@@TheBigLezFanChannel hey, did you ever get back to trying your coding project? I'm trying to make my game, used Java at first but quickly decided to switch to C# instead 😅
This makes me so happy! You're mapping out exactly what it's like to learn how to code, especially that feeling when your code runs perfectly. It has taken me a 9-month long high school class to learn what you've done in 18 hours.
Wow that is very awesome programming is so difficult it requires so much time! Your game is hilarious and fun and it works pretty well so congrats man!
Programming isn't that difficult, it just requires to think about the problems in a different manner. Of course it takes time to learn, but if instead of watching tv or youtube for an hour each week you take the time to learn to program whatever you want to do, in probably less than a year you'll have learned how to code.
I agree with both of you, I had to learn programming due to some of my uni courses, but I had a complicated project in such a small period of time that it felt very overwhelming. But when you actually see your code running correctly, aaaah that's the best feeling in the world. Coding is really a matter of patience, so that you learn how to cope with errors
Error messages aren't that bad if you take a few seconds to read and think about what they say. As an example Mike kept getting "unexpected token" errors. The message tells you which line the error is on, and which token(character) it's talking about. So you go to that line, find your mistake, and fix it. If you understand the basics of the language you're coding in it should be trivial to solve an unexpected token error. It just means you put in a symbol somewhere it shouldn't be. If you get an error that is less self-explanatory you just paste it into google and you can usually find the answer you're looking for in the top 3 results.
8:45 As a coder, can confirm this NEVER STOPS. You will always get error messages, and you will always have the same reaction. What happens in the montage is not an exaggeration. Even with knowing the certain terms and conditions for code, I still don't know what some of the error messages mean(at least fully). However, I'm still not some kind of expert coder. I'm about intermediate currently. I actually made the DVD thing earlier today, so I was kind of surprised to watch a video in which someone did the same thing. I'm glad I can finally relate to one of these. Also, if you want to learn how to code, I highly recommend it. The satisfaction you feel from completing a coding task is immeasurable. You basically add up all of the negative emotion from failing so much, like the error messages, and turn that value into positive emotion. It's the sole reason I like it so much. For beginners, JavaScript(language in the video) is easy to pick up. It's not the most popular language used, but to start learning it works better than something like Java. Personally, I'd recommend a block coding program. If you've heard of Scratch, then you know what I'm talking about. You don't have to remember a ton of syntax and commands, you just have a library of commands that you can pick out and drag. Despite being "for kids", these languages can be just as complex as more novel languages(albeit the more complex the coding gets, the harder it is to code because of the low capabilities). This is because of some computer mumbo-jumbo, but basically every programming language is just as capable as another. While Scratch is the most popular block coder out there, Snap! is much better in my opinion. The interface is cleaner, it's not as buggy, and custom blocks actually work. If you want a guide to go with the program, use edge.edx.org. You have to manually sign up for a course(and there are a lot) but the one I took is "The beauty and Joy of computing". There are two courses under that name, and one is a continuation of the first. You can check out other courses they offer as well, but these are the ones I've taken. Super simple and easy, highly recommend it. TL;DR Error messages suck and always will. Coding is fun because the overcoming of failures in coding is rewarding.

As a computer scientist, I absolutely love this video. I'm also always amazed at how good you are at picking out suitable challenges for your skill level! Great video.
"I didn't change anything" is a symptom of becoming a programmer, well done. Also, Here are some cheat codes for you guys Open up the console by pressing f12 and switching to Console tab there you can enter below codes glass_health = 0; //Instant crack breath = 1e+199; //Infinite breath
Was great to see someone get so far so quickly in coding! I know 15 days may seem like a long time but at my uni things like this would be a whole module spread over 12 weeks so the fact you did all this is frankly incredible.
the DVD screen doesn't even need trigonometry, just have a separate x and y velocity, and make the y vel positive when hitting the bottom, negative when hitting the top, x vel positive when hitting the left side, and negative when hitting the right plus, you wouldn't get that bug where it sticks to the edge
The hardest part of learning to code is the start. Doesn't matter the language. You start learning, everything is good, you run into some errors, but they're simple things like forgetting a semi-colon, then an actual error hits, and you begin to hate everything and everyone. once you get past that, its not that hard. just time consuming
Until you hit malloc and pointers and dealing w/ the stack and virtual functions and writing native memory algorithms. Everyone can learn an easy language like JS or Python but only real men write in Assembly.
As a Software Developer that has been following Mike Boyd for a while... this is hilarious! 404 errors... OMFG on the floor! Major props! Coding is all about grit, persistence and self-discipline; traits that Mike has in abundance! Absolutely love it! Keep smashing it!
This is brilliant!!! I just typed in ' learn something new' and your channel came up. I'm a computer science student and this determination is an inspiration!!
It is so cut when you watch this as a professional developer, it remembers me these sweet first days with code. Ye later is LOT HARDER, it never gets easier, but this creative high is so addictive
I code in Java and the first thing I learned after the basics was GUIs with JavaFX. I loved the fact I could see what I was doing, which helped me learn more advanced techniques.
Well actually you forgot (at 10:00) if (hp == 0 && playsound == 0) (since the variable playsound means nothing otherwise) but I can forgive you for that ;p As a game dev it is actually really exciting to see you make your first game and experience the joys and struggles of making a game Keep up the good work!

VERY true. Original concept, actual artwork such as graphics and sound with an actual aesthetic, the code is literally procedural but due to that, also on-point! (I did see a `Glass` class, though.)
After this I bet you could make a 3d game. It sounds scary but it's really not that bad. I recommend using blender to make 3d models (maybe an entirely separate video) and unity to program the game and bring the models together.

How exactly would be film that in an entertaining way?
@@brianriddle8389 Well I think that he could show his process and the different techniques he uses and to see how long it would take him, how often he could do it, the level of control, and tons of other things
Lucid dreams just happen. You can make it happen if you really want to.
hi there actually most people dont have lucid dreams unless they try to
i learnt to wake myself up during a lucid nightmare when it gets too scary
I love the guest host, Michelangelo boydiolo!
8:50: if you are a programmer this is probably he most fun part

You are probably the most intelligent person because you learn new stuff that will help you in life
why do so many people have that profile picture?
@@FroyoAnto oh yeah yeah
@@FroyoAnto it's from a TH-cam channel who told everyone to get that picture and then like every comment with that picture
Oh oh yeah

I have to say, as a guy who is into programming, you managed to make the game in very little time. Choosing a game with mechanics as specific as this, I expected you to take way longer. Kudos for the success!

Mike, I’m trying to learn to juggle. I’m sort of struggling. Have any tips?
By the way, I love your videos! They are so inspiring!
I get just 3 hahahaa
@@haydend2227 just try as much as you can that's how I learned it. Dont give up eventually you will be able to juggle. Just keep trying
Can you learn how to beatbox
Fun fact: I’ve been programming for 3-4 years at 10, and now 13, and have got into JS 2-4 mo. ago for my website.
bro the game is ridiculous and awesome .really enjoying the voice .haha,nice work
I was surprised you didn't do the dotted line skill on the chock board.

Ok mate
Relearn back flipping. But this time take your time. Overcome your the fear of going upside down first. Or else you will give up like the last time. I believe in you 😁😊😃😄
As a computer scientist, I absolutely love this video. I'm also always amazed at how good you are at picking out suitable challenges for your skill level! Great video.

how to "code" your first game:
1. download and open scratch
2. do anything
3. congrats! it's a game!
Literally how i started :D
@@gameofpj3286 same
I call that fake coding 🤣
Thats how i started
#ScratchIsntCode
"I didn't change anything" is a symptom of becoming a programmer, well done.
Also,
Here are some cheat codes for you guys
Open up the console by pressing f12 and switching to Console tab
there you can enter below codes
glass_health = 0; //Instant crack
breath = 1e+199; //Infinite breath
what?
idkn
@David Yang gg mate :D
Me: *Double checks code* Seems alright, let's look at the file.
Website: *CSS machine broke*
Me: BUT I DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING!!!!
Nani
You can also change breath to integer Max value
Was great to see someone get so far so quickly in coding! I know 15 days may seem like a long time but at my uni things like this would be a whole module spread over 12 weeks so the fact you did all this is frankly incredible.
The Coding Train is awesome, I learned the structure behind programming with this channel 3 years ago!!! Funny you are watching it too!
I've watched both you and the Coding Train for years and the fact that you found each other is absolutely awesome!

I loved playing that a but creepy but so much was put into it
I LOVE where this channel is going!
Loving the variety in content ♥️
the DVD screen doesn't even need trigonometry, just have a separate x and y velocity, and make the y vel positive when hitting the bottom, negative when hitting the top, x vel positive when hitting the left side, and negative when hitting the right
plus, you wouldn't get that bug where it sticks to the edge
The hardest part of learning to code is the start. Doesn't matter the language. You start learning, everything is good, you run into some errors, but they're simple things like forgetting a semi-colon, then an actual error hits, and you begin to hate everything and everyone. once you get past that, its not that hard. just time consuming
Python and most other languages give you an error message with the source either way
Until you hit malloc and pointers and dealing w/ the stack and virtual functions and writing native memory algorithms. Everyone can learn an easy language like JS or Python but only real men write in Assembly.
You should also Checkout Code bullet. like so Mike can see it
Code Bullet Is Such A Sicc Lad

As a Software Developer that has been following Mike Boyd for a while... this is hilarious! 404 errors... OMFG on the floor! Major props! Coding is all about grit, persistence and self-discipline; traits that Mike has in abundance! Absolutely love it! Keep smashing it!
You did it again, you never stop impressing us with new skills. Kudos
Michelangelo Boydiolo is a great sound artist
Your game is awesome! I can't believe you learned programming in just 16 days. By the way, my highscore is 10 haha
@corps diplomatique ok maybe not "learned" but you know what i mean. He hasn't touched coding ever and now he made his own game
This is brilliant!!! I just typed in ' learn something new' and your channel came up. I'm a computer science student and this determination is an inspiration!!
Coding is so much fun!
It's fun
Me: Wow! Coding is so fun!
*After 12 hours of coding*

Depends on wich language you code.

It would inspire myself to give it a go
It is so cut when you watch this as a professional developer, it remembers me these sweet first days with code. Ye later is LOT HARDER, it never gets easier, but this creative high is so addictive

As a programmer I have to say - excellent job! "The Error" scene made me laugh on the entire office :D
I code in Java and the first thing I learned after the basics was GUIs with JavaFX. I loved the fact I could see what I was doing, which helped me learn more advanced techniques.
Well actually you forgot (at 10:00)
if (hp == 0 && playsound == 0) (since the variable playsound means nothing otherwise)
but I can forgive you for that ;p
As a game dev it is actually really exciting to see you make your first game and experience the joys and struggles of making a game
Keep up the good work! Love your channel
(btw my highscore is 15)
Next video: 6:36, learn how to draw. Day 1, hour 0.

Programming is hard 20% coding and 80% bug fixsing after 4 months I recreated the original Final Fantasy game in VB (visual Basic) it has over 60,000 lines of code 20,000 are just for the combat system 👏
Damn dude impressive! Especially a game in vb.net you've got some patience
Titanium Waffle what did you use to do graphics I’m afraid I’m not super familiar with Vb. I’m a C, and C# guy mostly
@@madkinggaming3744 designed in adobe Photoshop CC then programed the reactive animation sequence manually in VB
You are on some different level !!!
That's over 500 lines of code a day. Somehow I doubt this claim.
I always admire your discipline in learning. You're an inspiration, Sir.
As a JS dev myself, I’m so damn impressed with how quickly this guy was able to not only learn the basics, but also naturally start following an Agile workflow.
9:31 beginning of giornos theme
Wow, this is very impressive.
"why does that look so god damn creepy? Maybe some teeth?"
A general rule of thumb is that adding teeth to something already creepy doesn't make it less creepy

Hatsoff to this man who learns so quickly . I played this game .It was so cool . I learned How to approach a problem to its solutions.
As a last year student Game Development, I can only say:
what a masterpiece
FHICT ftw
VERY true. Original concept, actual artwork such as graphics and sound with an actual aesthetic, the code is literally procedural but due to that, also on-point! (I did see a `Glass` class, though.)

After this I bet you could make a 3d game. It sounds scary but it's really not that bad. I recommend using blender to make 3d models (maybe an entirely separate video) and unity to program the game and bring the models together.
