1a. Learn to program (Check)
1b. Learn more and more math (In progress)
2. Solidify programming skills over multiple years (In progress)
3. Get job at ROBLOX
4. Fix things, and maybe work on feature requests in spare time

Goal: Become dedicated bug and exploit patching developer at ROBLOX

Does anyone else have any programmatically bound goals?

1. Learn to program (Check)
2. Learn the Linux kernel (In progress)
3. Make own window manager
4. Create new operating system which has the helpful features of OSX, the functionality of Windows, and the freedom of Linux
5. Market this OS to become multi-millionaire
6. Create compiler which interprets regular English to C++ and thus allowing anyone who can type in English to do pretty much anything

Goal: Become next Bill Gates / Steve Jobs; make computers easier for everyone


I made this list on-the-fly; however I've been seriously thinking about the OS for a while and the English interpreter does actually look profitable.....

Darn. If I had an actual sketch I could patent these ideas before someone steals them and makes money off them. Oh, well. I'll take my chances.

Well, not really. You could have it recognize keywords and figure out where the arguments are. Newlines could be specified by periods.

E.g.

"Make a new integer called test. Put 6 into test. Put test times 3 into test. If test is 18, say 'cool'."

==

int test;
test = 6;
test = test * 3;
if (test == 18) {
printf("cool");
}

1a. Learn to program (In progress)
1b. Learn multiple languages(In progress)
1c. Get good at all of them(Not doing so well)
2. Re-learn math (Seeing as I was an ignorant kid in grade school)
3. Create a custom game engine(3d/2d)
4. Create a sandbox game.
5. Look into working for a game development company

So far, not many of these goals are going too well.

1- Learn programming concepts(check)
2- Learn lua(check)
3- Learn Java(In progress)
4- Learn C and C++ (In hold)
5- Create my own game in Java and C++ (Someday)
6- Learn C#
7- Create a game with XNA

Pretty much my goals for summer, although learning java and C at decent levels require months of study, I just want to learn the basics for summer. I was learning Java and C at the same time, it got confusing with some keywords because they have they are the same but they do different things, like static. So I'm learning Java first

With Java you have the Javadoc to guide you, with C you have the libc manual.

(The GNU C variant is baws)

@Pop That was exactly what I needed, I already read the cplusplus introduction to C++ and was searching something more deep. I'm going to start reading it when I finish learning Java. Thanks!

Any tips for learning more of a scripting language that really has no detailed doc to it (Solely RBX.Lua, have been stuck in the high intermediates for about 2 years now.)

I got into Java because it have really good documentation, so if you want to learn another language I recommend you Java, and the when you are familiarized with OOP you can try C++.

Sorry about the double post.

@Dude in the red leather jacket,

Already know the basics of java and have made a few basic games with it.

No way! Reading is fun, also the javadocs have exercises at the end of a chapter, I recommend you doing them ;)

@lmb

You're thinking of the Java trials, the Javadocs are those lists of class and object members.

:O, I tried lwjgl, but I'm just to newbie at the moment, maybe in near future. Also the input stream in Java is a pain! in C you use cin to get integers, floats and strings. I can't get a simple string in Java input :S

wiki.roblox.com

....

That's the best documentation here. And asking in Scripting Helpers. And to be honest, any programming language that doesn't have documentation at all is either:

1) Not for public use
...as it is only for the creator and/or people who he wants to use it

2) So unpopular
...that nobody has made any tutorials or any reference to it online

Either way, you should probably just give up that language and learn another since it will likely accomplish the same thing.

And to be honest, learning a language without documentation is like cracking a code without having the code. You'd be better off making your own language than trying to understand someone else's.
