I don't see any good advice. Because people aren't giving me advice. They are telling me to code Hello World for years and years. Problem is, how does that help? It doesn't. It doesn't code in a weapon, it doesn't make a boat move, it doesn't do anything at all. It makes your computer re-print Hello World. I'v done the Hello World thing 60 times. I counted. And guess what? Im nowhere closer to making a game. And as for the Stool building to House building, there's a great difference between building stools and building houses. I built several stools, chairs, tables, chests, and boxes. Just wood, nails, hammer, and finish. And for some things, hinges, locks, and cushions. But houses have electric things to install, tiling, carpet, cieling fans, etc to put in. The methods are completely different. And I can't say that any person on this thread was actually a "teacher" because nobody taught me anything. They told me to learn things. A teacher doesn't say Go buy this book and read it, then write 2+5 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times and you will learn how to multiply. A teacher would explain how you get the answer to 2+5. Then the teacher would explain how you apply the same principles to multiplying, then you would learn algebra, physics, calculus, etc. And how do you know Rome wasn't built in a day? For all you know, it could have been built in 10 seconds flat. No one can prove anything. It's a fact. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
