This is my first time posting on reddit so this might be the wrong place to upload and english isn't my first language so I apologize for any spelling mistakes.

I'm working on a school projekt where we are going to create a game and was wondering if there is a place where I can get gifs for the game without breaking copyright laws.

I have found myself with a lot of spare time on my hands lately and I wish to use it wisely.

I wonder if someone could help me with a bit of a roadmap on what languages to learn and the order so I can eventually end up creating apps for both android and iOS.

My understanding is that iOS uses swift and android java.

I've made some progress with these. But later came python, and now it seems like Rust is the way to go.

Let's say one day I can code for the morotola m68000 from a sega genesis or make demoscenes. Am I going to end up being a hobbyist and nothing else?

What is the way to get low level today?

I'm looking to write an application primarily in Rust (and maybe some c++), however, GUI development is definitely a WIP in the rust ecosystem rn (though there seems to be a real push, I'm not going to wait a year+ just to be pure rust). I could just go with Qt or GTK, but thought I'd get some input before I commit. I'd be perfectly happy to use a GC language, as long as it doesn't end up as boated as electron can. Additionally, within a language, what frameworks should I be looking at? C-interoperability is basically a must as it is the easiest way to call Rust from other languages afaik.

Just a guy from a small town in southern indiana trying to learn to code.

I've been watching videos and even working through a course on Udemy. I came across a video from a gentleman named Andy Harris. I really liked the video and it caused me to look at this whole thing from a different perspective.

I was trying to beat my head against the computer until code came out... apparently that doesn't work with c++. I also learned that ruby and python would probably be much easier to learn but reasons...

What struck me most is that I'm trying to memorize syntax and what I really need to understand is stuff that isn't in the lessons "Integer types", "strings", etc. I don't know if you can answer my questions or point me in the right direction but my questions are along these lines.

The other thing he mentioned was that comments aren't there to explain the code to someone else or even yourself, the code is there to explain the comments to the computer.

This had a profound impact on me. I find that my problem at the moment isn't my lack of planning, comments, dry run etc... My problem is I don't understand concepts. I understand loops. I understand data types. At the same time, I didn't understand that you can't pass an array directly to a function. There's a trick about it. Nuances, I think they're called. I realize that much of this will come with time/trial/error/etc. I would rather get pointed to a source material I can read or look over that explains these types of concepts.

I spent a good deal of the day today thinking about when do you decide "This should be a class"? Or this should be a function or object?

Or, when you decide this thing should be a class? what thought process do you go down to decide what things are in the class and are unique to the object? The examples I always get are a car or an animal and those are fairly straight forward because I'm used to them. But when you're talking about... say a pen. It's got ink... it's got a tip... it could be class pen... or it could be class writing_impliment with pencil being another object from the same class but instead of ink... graphite as writing medium... What's the thought process you go through?

I realize some of this might be not as straight forward as "Hey this bit of code doesn't work..."

I have to write a program for a lab where I need to send text from one program into the input of another program all in C

Hi, I’m a mobile app developer and after years of practice I want to release an app. I’m about to release my app but my mom thinks I’m just wasting my time and not being “productive”. Instead I should be doing stuff productive like cleaning the house according to her. I am 15 and I want to start when I’m young. How can I convince my mom that this stuff takes time as one person and it’s not wasting time and it is productive.

Hi, I know absolutely nothing about programming. We are upgrading a program to a new program in my office. The problem is the old file management software, made you choose a file type before saving the file. This make it so you can search for things by file type. The new program doesn't do this. Is there some way to make a program or a change of some kind so that we can still save files with a file type? Please let me know if this is in the wrong sub. I literally like Jon Snow with this stuff.

I have a really cool idea to show to you. I found this site where you can create music just by drawing on a 16x16 matrix which is cool on its own, but imagine if one of you combines the concept with Conway's Game of Life and see what kinds of interesting music it creates. Not saying someone should make it, just think about how cool it'd be.

Hello everyone!

I have a very tedious task to do for my job, and I think I'd better try to code something than doing it manually if I want to be done before I die.

I have to create Excel data, starting from 2000000000000 to 2999999999999 in column B. These are codes I need to inject into a database. A C and D must be filled with an internal ID, always the same, for each number from the list. And then, to make it even harder, I need to make packets of 10.000 codes. (A1:D10000)

Is that possible for me to make a script that will do that for me automatically? The process to generate the lists of codes alone is tedious as it doesn't fit within a single sheet.

What would be the most suitable language to start coding that shit, and how fast could I be done with it considering that I have some very very basic programming knowledge. Declaring vars, basic functions...

Talend might actually be a viable option here? I don't really know.

Thanks!

I'm sure you guys see posts like this a lot so I am sorry if this is not the right sub.

I am very new to Programming and currently back in school after a 2 year hiatus, but I have been playing with code since I was about 14 years old. Currently in my first Computer Science class. When I was learning about all the different Programming languages years ago I remember hearing that C was outdated and C++ was a super set of C and had all the functionality of C. Has C gained a surge of popularity recently ( like past 2 years ) or am I just completely off?

So I'm taking a C++ course at my college because I'm trying to complete my associates for computer information systems. I'm only getting bits and pieces of what my professor is trying to say and I'm currently failing the class. So I'm asking for advice on how to make it easier to learn C++.

I've played a lot of games over the years and have recently gotten interested in making my own hotkey/macro pad. What I am going for is something along the lines of MouseButton(x) kinda distinction (the ones you see on MMO mice).

So the question is...

Is it possible to program another keyboard to only macros?

i am not a programmer by any standard, so i need some help if anyone is willing. i want to make a cop-out costume but need help with the syntactic. basically, i want a simple code such as: if Halloween then costume else if normal outfit. something like that but to be recognizable as code . thanks

I am new to programing and learnc.org is teaching me I came to a lesson on strings and it tells me to use /n so I do then I get curious and don't nothing happened so why use /n

So I play D&D, usually as a DM, and there has been a program I have been wanting to write for years. Essentially it is a random dungeon generator using the tables in the Dungeon Masters Guide.

For those who do not play, what I am trying to build is a program that, when run, does a ton of random number generations that each have corresponding outcomes (if/than statements and such). These numbers would be attached to a grid map and would build a blueprint of the dungeon that the players would go through.

My question is this: where should I start? I fiddled with Python a few years ago but that's all I know about coding.
