    Day 1 #100 Day Coding challenge

    Posted: 29 Jan 2021 08:05 PM PST

    I am about to try the 100 Day coding challenge. I am very new to coding and NO ONE that I know IRL has any interest in programming. I'm going to post here to 1. challenge myself to be consistent 2. hopefully have someone to help keep me honest 3. Learning from other programmers that are further along the path.

    I am open to all Tips/tricks/advice

    Just please remember I am very new so please be kind.

    This first code that I am posting is VERY simple. I know that there is so much that I don't know but I can't wait to learn more! Thank you all for any advice, help, or support in advance.

    from random import randint
    die1 = randint(1,6)
    die2 = randint(1,6)
    die3 = randint(1,6)
    die4 = randint(1,6)
    def roll():
    hero = die1 + die2
    enemy = die3 + die4
    if hero < enemy:
    print("you lose")
    elif int(hero) == int(enemy):
    print("Tie")

    else:
    print("You win")
    print("the enemy rolled", enemy)
    print("Hero rolled", hero)
    roll()

    What is python used for?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2021 10:41 PM PST

    So like I'm 12 and just started to learn to code, I'm trying to pick out what language I should learn first. I know what all the other languages are used for like, C# and C++ is used for game developing, javascript is used for websites, though I don't know what you would use python for. I'll probably learn C# first because what 12 year old doesn't wanna make a game but if python has more uses I might do that first. I already know I'm not learning Javascript because with the rise of things that let you create websites without coding it would be useless

    Beginner: What is the "programming" behind Bitcoins, blockchain, etc.?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2021 06:58 PM PST

    What makes a Game Development bootcamp worth it?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2021 08:24 PM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I am a new member of the subreddit. I am looking to apply for a Bootcamp game dev related, it's not cheap at $8,000. I wanted to know if there are cheaper alternatives that you know of and what should I be looking out for in the course that charges this much money...I guess what I'm asking is what would justify this price tag, so I can sleep at night? thank you! I should say I've been throught Udemy and free youtube tutorials and I am looking for the next level up. So I'm not a complete beginner, I do have a stable foundation in c++..(I believe)

    Nelly's intro to programming curriculum

    Posted: 29 Jan 2021 07:15 PM PST

    Hey All!

    Wanted to share with you how I got started learning programming. When I first started with the interest, I was so amazed at how much of a community there was for programming so I want to share my courses. Of course I am still learning.

    The Nelly Curriculum:

    1. Python for Everybody - Coursera
    2. Automate the Boring Stuff - Udemy
    3. C# course Object Oriented Programming - Edx
    4. Harvard's CS50x
    5. Now I'm currently doing MIT's Intro to Computer Science Python - Edx

    Will keep this list going as I take more courses or learn more. Feel free to share what courses you took! And recommendations?

    Starting numerous times from the beginning

    Posted: 29 Jan 2021 05:18 AM PST

    Did anyone experience this? I started learning programming from freecode camp. After that I bought various Udemy courses (Javascript). I made some very simple projects, hit a bump in the road, took a break.

    I then started with The Odin Projects, same thing happened. Then I started with CS50x, same thing.

    I often hit roadblocks, mostly when doing projects on my own, and stop. I often feel that what I do is useless, as I won't learn anything, even though I realize that I made progress.

    Now I want to start again, but I have no idea where to start from or with what. Each time I start again I feel less enthusiastic about it. I realize that I did not even give it a proper chance before quitting each time.

    To those who experienced this and managed to persevere, what did you do?

    Thanks!

    I'm a Vet in my mid 30s, I lost my job, and I just signed for a 24 week programing boot camp at my local University.

    Posted: 29 Jan 2021 09:48 PM PST

    But I feel really nervous, I've never considered myself smart or tech savvy, but friends have told me I'm good at problem solving and researching and I should look into programming\coding. While I'm not tech savvy, I do love tech and am fascinated by what goes on behind the scenes. I have this feeling like I'll be good at it but I also feel like 24 weeks isn't enough time to teach somone like me. I downloaded Python and started my education right away, but are there any other steps I can take now, before school starts in March, that can get me a little boost? Or titles to some books I can read before classes?

    And thanks you! to this sub, for getting me this far. I'll definitely won't forget you guys\gals and will be back with progress.

    How to get good at problem solving ?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 12:34 AM PST

    I feel difficult to solve problems but I am very good at building websites and mobile apps. Though I know these skills companies ask me to solve problems in the interview. Is there any ways to escape or overcome this problem ?

    [React] Libraries to simplify styling/formatting of user "posts" retrieved from the database as a gigantic string of doom and ugliness?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 12:03 AM PST

    Very similar to reddit with all of it's various stylings like italicized, bold, underlined, title fonts and the like I am trying to find a library that will simplify the process of going from a giant amorphous blob of text from my database into something that looks more presentable on my page.

    Such as I can have users put in input through the react drafts library, that gets sent and stored in the database. But when I have a page do a get request it just gets a hideous henious blob of text that has no formatting. Like it's sitting comfortably in my redux store but man oh man when a user views that page it's hideous.

    Any recommendations to simplify this would be INCREDIBLY appreciated :3

    Considering my situation, what is the BEST option I can choose in regards to picking a programming language?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2021 11:46 PM PST

    I know the classic "What language" questions are super common and annoying, but I'm in an interesting complicated imo and I honestly just need help picking a way to start learning.

    TLDR: I want to get into GameDev as a hobby, but SoftwareDev( as an actual job in the future. I'm going into a CS course next year which I assume would teach general programming and CS and all the usual stuff. so I would like to know what I should learn in the spare time that I have this year.

    Here's the deal. I finished high school just last year. (the school year in AUS ends at the end of the year, like it bloody should) And I'm taking a year off before going into Uni for a bachelor of CS next year. I discovered the wonders of Game Dev last year, and out of that spawned a liking to programming in general, hence why I'm going into CS. Though I didn't learn anything due to school and general procrastination. Now that I've moved out and I have a bunch of free time, I figured "why not start learning programming now?". So I'm strongly considering picking up a language.

    (Note that when I talk about "learning game dev", I'm mostly focused on the programming and game design aspect, not the art side. I'm perfectly fine at art.)

    Now this is where it gets complicated, at least in my mind.

    I still want to get into game dev and make games, but as a hobby and not as a career, as I generally understand that the pay is relatively shitty and so are the working environments. At least relative to a general Software Development/ Computer Science-driven career. Maybe I could become a successful indie-dev, but I'm not relying on that no matter how appealing it seems. So even now, the option is either; Learn a language/skills related to Game Dev, and let the skills transfer over to Software Dev for school and work. Or learn a language/skills related to Software Dev, and allow those skills to transfer over to Game Dev.

    Even then, I came across this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBaCRp9UzDw which explained why learning a "game library" is more valuable to someone like me when compared to using a game engine, as it could tech me programming (most likely in either Java or Python) and help me land me a job In Software Dev, while also allowing me to make games. Also making me a "better game dev" in some ways. Even after I theoretically use a library like Libgdx or PyGame for a while, I would move onto and engine like Unity or Godot, preferably Godot. Using C# and a Python-like language known as GDscript respectively. Making it a valid option to learn either C# or Python.

    I'm also the kind of person who likes to REALLY understand things. I like to know the how's and why's of every little detail about the things I learn, and get down into the details about things. "Why do I use this ingredient and not this ingredient?" "How does this affect this?" "What am I doing by writing this". I hate when tutorials just tell you to do something without explaining what it does. "You don't need to understand this" YES I DO! TELL ME! conversely, this makes Python a bit more un-desirable, despite how apparently easy it is. To me, the fact that it's "simple" makes it un-appealing. Though I understand how useful it is.

    I've honestly put myself into a loop.

    I came to the conclusion that learning something like C or C++ would help with my desire for knowledge, as they're very low-level and don't leave anything "under the hood" like Python or Java does, and I would also get a head-start in school (more desirable than you would think). But I don't NEED to learn those FIRST because I can learn those later right? I understand that programming as a skill is more important and harder to learn than an actual language. But learning C/C++ would make learning many other languages easier due to them being harder, as far as I understand. A valuable skill in the long-term. But learning C/C++ also seems difficult, not because they're hard, but because it doesn't seem like I can do many projects that would allow me to practice and get me from beginner to intermediate, which pushes me towards gamedev. I would have something I enjoy that would provide me good feedback. At that leads learning something like C#, Java or Python for my hobby, but I've already explained why I don't want to learn Python for a first language, AND why I might want to focus on a "harder" language. But that just leads back to wanting to learn C/C++, and then the cycle continues.

    I want to learn a good skill-set and language that would set me up for success in Uni and my career path (It wouldn't hurt to be ahead in school for once). But I still want to start making games at some point, preferably this year before I have to focus on Uni. But I don't want to learn "bad habits" and a useless skillset/language by going too far into GameDev.

    I could just learn C#/Java/Python and let myself learn C/C++ in CS, as that's what they eventually teach, and allowing my general programming logic to get me a head start. Would it really be that hard to learn "What's under the hood" with C/C++ after a good year of learning C#/Java/Python? especially in a school environment? Do gamedev skill transfer over to programming skills more than I think?

    Even so with THAT, there's still the question of "Game Engine" or "Game Libary". And THEN theres C#, Java and Python to chose from.

    Ugh it's all so complicated. I know staring ASAP is the best thing I can do, but I don't know how to start. Sorry if this is a total mess. I'm just really confused. Literally any help is appreciated.

    Struggling in my Data Structures and Algorithms class - any good practice sites?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2021 06:41 AM PST

    The increase in difficulty from my Intro to OOP class and this class is astounding. I feel like I'm very behind the curve when it comes to writing basic algorithms (floor functions, ceiling functions, etc) and we have an upcoming lab practical where you have 60 minutes to basically get either a 0 or a 100 implementing algorithms. Are there any exercises I can do to increase my programming fluency (using Java)?

    Is double majoring in computer science and computer information systems redundant?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2021 12:10 PM PST

    I am having trouble deciding exactly what I want to major in. I am currently enrolled in a bachelors program for computer science with a concentration in software engineering however, I want to add another major that's more business oriented. Computer information systems appealed to me because I still want to maintain a focus on technology but I'm wondering if that would be a little redundant since I'm already getting my CS degree? Should I maybe go for business administration instead?

    Looking for stateless RNG

    Posted: 29 Jan 2021 09:42 PM PST

    I'm not sure where else to ask so I hope this is a fine question.

    I'm looking for an RNG where I give it a specific input every time without any past uses influencing the outcome, so that everytime I give the same input, I get the same output. I only need 1-3 numbers for any given input, but the point is that I don't want a big hassle dealing with some large state that needs to be reset for every number I use. I do want speed as well if I can get it.

    The use is that I want to provide a location and a universal seed to get a value for that location, and sometimes 3 values. I will be accessing the locations haphazardly but repeatedly, so if I go A-> B -> C, I want the same values in the same places as going C -> A -> B.

    All the generators I can find depend on state and focus on the "quality" for a large set of outputs for any given input, which is not my intended use and leads to me either getting different results everytime I come back to the same location or requiring me to reset state every location.

    Why does checking for isalpha() and ispunct() giving me an infinite loop?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2021 08:16 PM PST

    Description in the title. The isalpha(size) and ispunct(size) should return 0, keep the same boolean value and loop again to input the size again. But its skipping over the cin function and creating an infinite loop. Heres the code. Thanks in advance!

     int size{}; bool inbounds = false; do { cout << "Pick a number between 2 and 20: "; cin >> size, cout << endl; cout << "You picked: " << size << endl; // checks to see if bounds if ((size < 3) || (size > 20 || isalpha(size) || ispunct(size))) { cout << "\nThats out of range. Please pick a number between 2 and 20.\n\n"; } else { inbounds = true; } } while (inbounds == false);
