what about lua, I've heard so many people just say "I learned it easily and fast"

but when I try, all my scripts either fail, or have 1 misspelled word that I can't find

if you want to script yourself a game there's actually very little to learn
just look up the api and look at the wiki pages on them
then copy what they do, except replace a few words, and add some values, and you're done

And then somebody told me that scripting wasn't the only thing that you needed to do to make a game, and I just said "I use to want to be a game creator, now I just want to be a photographer"

@OP
You should enable the console.
It tells you what you did wrong and then you can fix it.

if you're in high school or entering high school, there will most likely be an 'intro to computer science' class which teaches python or java. once you know some basics any language starts to make sense. i would recommend

keep in mind that programming is built to make sense for humans (given some training), it's not that bad!!

i started with crappy youtube tutorials

and i used to play all kinds of train-related games in 2011 so i wanted to learn how to script doors and stuff

over the course of 5 years i learned by terrible youtube tutorials and examining free models


nowadays i use the wiki whenever some new scripting stuff is released and i need to learn it

Stackoverflow is your best friend, op.

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

Obiviously not.
But when I said "ever tried Assembly?" that was just meant as a joke response to:
"keep in mind that programming is built to make sense for humans (given some training), it's not that bad!!"

The basics are pretty easy. When scripting you just need to know what exactly you want to happen.

@h3
Python is bad
1) You don't end blocks
2) You always have to return something in a function
3) You can't use your own coding style.
IF I WANT TO DRAW FACES WITH MY CODE THEN LET ME DO THAT PYTHON!
