I am trying to learn programming so I can make game engines.
Do you currently practice or try to make game, and if so what do you use?
I just recently downloaded Unity and UDK (Unreal Development Kit). I am still learning how to use the programs, but it seems like some good practice if you are looking into game design.

I've made a few games. One with somebody in Australia, it was a flash fighting game that I have to admit I was impressed with.
I'm learning Java for fun right now, I have Blender and Autodesk Maya, I model in blender and use maya to finalize the model, reduce the poly count and then animate the model.
Unity is good for running things with Unreal Development Kit.

I would like to make some applications and games. Also, I have been learning C++ and coincidentally I just started learning Java last night, and I only teach my self at night.

As of now all I can do for games and programming is watch some videos and read some books.
How do you teach yourself how to program and make games?

Enjoy it, it's fun

I have been on codeacademy many times before. The one think that I dislike about the website is that there are many ways to learn a programming language, and if you go to another source to learn it might be different

This is his Java section. A whole playlist of like 90 videos.

Hi I am thiggisthit'ghf

Can I see your games?

That's the beauty of it, it's not many ways of learning it per say, it's just that the language can be approached from many different ways dependant on your needs for it.
Game Design as opposed to Website Design.
Understand me?
Well, just make sure you look up what you want to learn it FOR then you'll get the type of learning you want

Well for website design, I mainly use html and css. But you can also use java to help. I am just going to learn the basics, then teach myself by reading lines of codes from video games. Honestly making a website is very easy, and the first language that I learned was BASIC. As for C++ when I learned, I would start of with
#include <iostream>
then when I went to either w3schools, or codeacademy, they started off with
#include <"I don't remember>
It was different than what I was first taught, so it confused me. As of now, I am using video tutorials by "thenewboston" on youtube for Java. If you would like, I can link you to his channel.
