I want to make games so which code should i learn?
I’m unsure if you already have an engine picked out because you asked which language to use and different engines may use different languages so here we go.
I personally would say you may want to download the Unity engine. Unity is a tool developers use to basically build the world, add items, characters, etc. There are, of course, other engines out there but Unity is one that most people tend to use. Then there’s also Cryengine and Unreal Engine although, these are more advanced and have a wider learning curve. Unity is free to use (there are also features that only paid users are allowed.) and most colleges will instruct their students to use Unity for their learning. If you scroll down far enough, you’ll see the games I made while learning. Although I never finished them, Unity has more than enough power to make good games while learning. Unity supports 3D and 2D game development and I don’t believe Unreal or Cry engine do. (Not positive on that so correct me if I’m wrong everyone..) There are a lot of lower-level engines out there as well such as Love Engine (I hope I’m spelling all of these correctly…). I’m assuming you want to make the entire game on your own, right? If not then you’ll need a team of friends. If You do plan to develop alone, you’ll need a programming language that the engine supports. I know Unity supports C# and JavaScript. Most would tell you to learn JavaScript first because it’s easier to grasp and I do believe that to be true. Trust me, go JavaScript. I’m unsure of what languages you should study for the other engines but I assume most of them use JavaScript or C#. I’d check for yourself on that.
I really hope this helps you or someone out there to get started.
Good luck!

A Solar Filament Erupts : What’s happened to our Sun? Nothing very unusual – it just threw a filament. Toward the middle of 2012, a long standing solar filament suddenly erupted into space producing an energetic Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). The filament had been held up for days by the Sun’s ever changing magnetic field and the timing of the eruption was unexpected. Watched closely by the Sun-orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory, the resulting explosion shot electrons and ions into the Solar System, some of which arrived at Earth three days later and impacted Earth’s magnetosphere, causing visible aurorae. Loops of plasma surrounding an active region can be seen above the erupting filament in the featured ultraviolet image. Although the Sun is now in a relatively inactive state of its 11-year cycle, unexpected holes have opened in the Sun’s corona allowing an excess of charged particles to stream into space. As before, these charged particles are creating auroras. via NASA

Hi, do you know any resources to start learning coding, preferably for free? Ty!!
Hiya! ✨ Yeah, I’ll see what I can find! However! Online courses often have a build in a code editor. Don’t. Honestly, do not. Get a full software and install it, don’t be restricted to just an online code editor, even on a basic level. First of all decide what language you want to start learning. For complete beginners, I’d recommend Python or C.
💡 codeacademy (this I’ve tried myself and yep, it’s really well written and good for beginners; it doesn’t have many courses tho) 💡 programmr.com 💡 codeavengers💡 code.org💡 Bucky’s wonderful tutorials (these are amazing! I’ve only done the c++ ones, but they were really well explained and included stuff like installing a software as well!)
And now here are some “tools” to use while programming:
🔌 stackoverflow - biggest platform there is; you can ask them anything, but it’s probably been asked before so try looking on it at first🔌 cppreference.com - has all the information about c++ built in libraries, functions, variables and anything you’ll possibly need 🔌 python visualizer - helps you visualize code if you don’t have a compiler on your laptop - they also have other languages🔌 learnpython 🔌 python tutorial🔌 game development with pygame - do something FUN! It’s not that hard, just try it That’s about it! Hope this helps! x
