The Crossroad of My Projects

[Gunner]

Ok, so I figured out I'm currently in a constant argue between myself that I'm in the crossroad of my project decision.

Is it better to just master out one language first or just get in one project with a little knowledge while learning straight away?

I'm working on a complex battle system on php in my own game. And Iliterrally want to get it finished really soon, because I really want to get an outline down and move into another project. It's been a long time and I haven't even finished anything in my life.

So the law of scripting: you can do it yourself (which is better) or google some in the internet and use some portion of them depending on your needs.

I'm probably starting out with too big of a project.

I think I need to just learn a lot more programming languages.. I'm going to get some amount of Jscript and Jquery.
But what do you think? What'sthe best way to learn these? Is it by reading all the guides out there or by getting into a project?

I badly need your preferences

Oh for the battle system, it sucks, I keep doing a workaround by refreshing the page over and over to get the text updated. :/
I could post my script here if anyone requests it to do so..

What do you want the script to do? Dynamically dhow the results of the fight, without a refresh? You will need jQuery for that. Otherwise, for just fight engine, I recommend just focus on it as much as healthily possible and just bang away at it.

[Gunner]

Yeah Xaos, showing all the fight texts dynamically.
So my code was like header location: samepage.php all nested in every side

BTW can't javascript simply do it?
Ok so I have to master out all the dom element first before getting to jqu. Right?

Just wanted to comment that you are also younger than almost everyone here. Don't think your "behind". Many people your age who end up programming professionally haven't even gotten started yet!

But I don't think it's an excuse
I have been starting since like 2011 and often people ask me "Hey, what can you really do?" and I always answer "PHP, HTML, CSS, Javascript."
Even if secretly in my head I'm saying "I can literally do nothing at all! Those languages I just mentioned are JUST the name of the language.. Like really.. I could probably only do the very basic of them." And that just simply proves how a terrible learner I am. I am so freaking jealous everytime the word 'C' is mentioned.. I should've gone to something advanced by now.

But in fact, I haven't.

Oh and, I did fail again in my pascal competition. My classmate got a much better result than me.. And I sorta like "Wow! I spent all my time to learn all these scripts for years and he didn't! What the hell is wrong with me!"


Just a quick brief - when I reached high school, I moved to a different area. So I'm living alone, without my parents. Which is a good thing. So time for me must be managed really well. I better reduce any activity that does seem useless like.. Taking naps around and messing up around with friends. (My prob is the taking naps around. Am a lazy slowpoke)

I have to admit one awful thing.. I am basically not a hardworker. That's the problem. THAT's IT!
I freaking need to freaking change.

Sorry for the off topicness. I'm just getting things straight.

It took me about 1 year to switch to C#, and I was knowing a lot of languages before. So learning do take time. Don't expect to be there before having 10 years or more of experience. Will you not be able to code till then? Of course not, but you will see you will improve with the time. The more you do it, the better you will be. Simply don't panic, and continue
