Of course I can. I already did it when I was 14, on tools far worse than anything you kids have today.
Yes, and I don't need to use a scrubby language like C#.
How old were you when you stopped believing in the OOP fairytale?
...
Yes but i make more money selling aimbots and bitcoinminers
Puts a smile on my face every time.
I wish I could code in C++.
where's your DestructibleActor class
Coding video games is for people who suck at CS.
This isn't the 90's anymore.
yeah I made Dark Souls
I made a checkers game in assembly, but I lost everything
dont know how to do visual things in c++
What did he mean by this? OOP is good for gaymes. What are you suggesting instead, some retarded shit like having over 9000 arrays and id for every entity?
Stop wishing and just learn, there’s millions of resources to turn even retards into semi competent programmers.
I'm not a virgin so no.

25 when I went full composition over inheritance
It's a passion field. You don't go into it for money, but because you love it.
I probably could, but I can't make any art assets so I'll stick to programming other things. By the way, "programming" is the more appropriate term to use since since just writing down the code is only a small part of the process.
Okay so I've decided I finally wanna learn how to code and since 4chinz is full of l33t h4xors i figure what better place to ask
Where do i even begin?
solo'ing a worthy video game project seems like a bad ratio of risk/reward. id rather make mods or design levels.
i really should learn how to make games, i have over 20 years "experience" fucking around with games but coding just looks overwhelming
I work at a mental health facility and some demented tranny pretends he's "learning coding" although all he actually does is sleep all day while his mom makes him hot pockets. It's just some pile dream for his malfunctioning brain to cling to. I always think of him when Yea Forums talks about coding as if anyone here actually knows how to do anything useful.
...
/g/ I think has resources for this.
Every guy in the world has "20 years experience" jacking off ya dingus.
You begin by reading SICP cover to cover. Is what retards and myself would tell you.
>composition
>not OOP
You double baka. If you're using any sort of object oriented design patterns, you're using OOP.
Back in the early 2000s and 90s they didn't teach coding. So I have no clue what any of this shit is.
First, get a standard calculus text and dive in. You should also get linear algebra and discrete math books as well; make sure the discrete text is proof based.
Once you're a couple chapters in to your discrete book (you will want to have covered basic proposition and higher order logic, and basic proofs), you may begin learning programming and computer architecture. As a litmus test, if you don't know what this statement is
∀P((0∈P∧∀i(i∈P-->i+1∈P))-->∀n(n∈P))
you aren't ready to take the reins of a computer.
Now, forget what you do know about computer programming:
First, you learn boolean logic operations
then, you learn transistor logic
then, you learn how to build functional units from logic gates
then, you learn CPU design
then, and only then, you learn assembly language
then, after you have mastered assembly language (not dabbled, but mastered it), you learn C
then, after you have mastered C, you may learn the higher-level languages of your choice, but you will always use C and assembly as your primary languages because everything else is unnecessary bloat.
By this time you should be finished with your first wave of math and ready for the next: abstract algebra, analysis, multivariate and vector calculus, and, after you have progressed a way in those, topology.
Finally, you become familiar with topoi, and study the internal logic of categories
then familiarize yourself with (general) type theory, and its applications to programming. I also recommend studying how to reformulate mathematics in terms of globular categories for use in automatic theorem proving, because there is an inherent programming-like 'feel' to it.
I have all the time in the world and almost no willpower
I have a degree in computer science and am still basically a complete beginner at programming
My nigga.
Inheritance is a false God, everything it does can be accomplished with the decorator design pattern.
i used to be a lower level language elitest but after working as a programmer i just dont give a fuck any more.
convenient, self documenting code is all that matters
Using object composition breaks down OOP foundations and encourages functional programming
I cannot comprehend why anyone would WILLINGLY become a code monkey
For Vidya if you wanna build a portfolio pick an engine and learn whatever language you need. Try to pick a specific skillset you want to use to impress employers, like “I’m experienced with using OpenGL and DirectX” that shit will get you further than all the script kiddies that take Programming 2 in community college and think that gives them the right to a job.
The more languages you learn, the easier it will be to learn new ones.
I can program, but I can't use Unity. Too many menus and settings to remember. I did all the tutorials but it's so much to remember. I spent five hours the other day just trying to get my guy to move without falling through the floor, and setting up a proper hitbox.

Holy fuck what is wrong with you.
here you go
C++ is the de-facto language for vidya dev, but C# isn't that far behind and easier to learn
Nim is just python with static types
>knowing "for all" and "in set" mathematical symbols
>prerequisite for programming
You're not fooling anyone. Discrete math is barely a requirement for most code. The hardest part of most software development (outside of AI which requires calculus and statistics) is knowing how to structure code. The rest is just basic logic.
You don't need to know transistor logic to understand an if else statement. You don't need to be able to differentiate between functional units and logic gates to write a lambda function. You don't have to write your own compiler to fucking do any modern software development.
>mastering C
I bet you can't even write proper shell scripts. Only posers think you have to master C to do anything else. Managing memory isn't hard, it's just tedious.
It's fun to have a project to work on but I always second-guess my creative ideas and I don't think art/music are my forte, programming is the part I know best so I've had better luck doing other stuff like reverse engineering old games than I think I would if I were to try making a game from scratch

You need to make a WinAPI window and create OpenGL context to draw a rectangle with shit in it. If you put drawing function in a loop that also checks for use input you can change coordinates of shit you see in OpenGL viewport and make a game with moving shit. Easy.

I guess that's the difference. I was self-taught. I learned about OOP through work and reading up on design patterns.
At least you have a job

>not programming in APL
youtu.be
I'm not saying inheritance isn't useful, just that it's overused by people who don't actually understand OOP. OOP is object-oriented, meaning literally anything that has to do with objects falls under its purview.
Inheritance only pertains to is-a relationships while composition covers both has-a and is-a relationships. The latter is much more flexible, though inheritance is useful if you want a strictly defined hierarchy.
It's also why Java is moving away from abstract classes to interfaces. Interfaces are has-a relationships, making them more flexible than abstract classes.
Yeah, SDL is a library. There are two versions: 1.2 and 2.0. I'd recommend starting with 1.2; it's missing some features and isn't as fast as 2.0, but I think its API is much simpler to use if you're just starting out
Trade places with me or tell me some bullshit I can put on in my resume to get hired
thanks Ill check it out
everytime
just go through some pluralsight tutorials and think of some work/inernship you've done that nobody will bother to check out
This is a good tutorial that I used when I was learning SDL:
lazyfoo.net
It also includes how to set up a library if you don't have any experience with that sort of thing, which was nice because I didn't
This was me when I first started using Unity and Unreal. Alot of the simple, reusable parts in almost every game is made such that it's drag and droppable, and it's very convenient for beginners/non-programmers, but is a big paradigm shift for programmers who are used to only looking at code all day. I say just keep trudging along, make a couple of small games on the engine and eventually you'll remember which menus do which functions.
kek any more like this?
I'd go further to say inheritance is pretty much never useful except as an example of what not to do.
Well, this is from a large project point of view where inheritance makes working with the codebase really awful. Looking through the inheritance chain (hopefully extended single digit times) for which method your object is actually calling is painful. You have to keep the inheritance hierarchy in your mind while you try to understand which level is handling what functionality.
Yeah, it's a library.
There is a good tutorial online:
opengl-tutorial.org
But coding a game by yourself in OpenGL is more of a "see if I can make something functional" project. If you want to make a game that actually plays well in a reasonable amount of time you are better of using a preexisting engine.
Hmmm maybe I should get an actual internship. Then again I'm far too old and should probably just give up.
it is never too late to try
If you really find a project you like, plan it out and set deadlines for yourself.
I find it useful when you want to implement an interface in two similar ways, which share a base abstract class because they have similar code in protected methods.
OCaml and nothing else
Yes. I went to college for games programming but realised I just liked programming in general and that working in the games business sucks ass.
Good man.
yes, sadly I lack inspiration, imagination, cannot draw or do music
Give me the scoop on functional interfaces plz.
Are they basically just delegates?
but working creating business software is even worse
You don't know how easy programming actually is. Even the "big" languages are relatively small.
>realized too late that i'm a complete brainlet when it comes to math and logical shit
Inheritance is nothing but copy-pasting of code with a calls redirection trick.
It's barely a concept.
smug
Guys, is signing up for an online course worth it? I mean it's a way to show that you did something official right? People wouldn't really believe you if you just just that you can do it
C++ isn't difficult to learn since 11.
Also, you'll want to learn about memory allocation and shit like that if you want to become a well-rounded programmer.
The salary and working hours are absolutely worth it.
Just upload some of your projects that don't look like trash on github.
Who /turbo pascal/ master race here ?
In my experience it has been way more enjoyable. Maybe I just got really lucky with my colleagues. With games you have to deal with graphics, design and sound people too. I prefer just working with engineers.

it really does depend on what you manage to land
I got into a pretty shit job with a shit deal that I suffer through.
Which technologies land you the comfiest job? Salary aside, or at least being 2nd priority
Is there an actual game that teaches you how to code properly?
Something that goes beyond "haha, let's do if statements for 5 hours" but actually covers coding well?
Your right internet man, now if only I didn't live in Kentucky
Would that really be enough?
It took me much longer to learn to program than it did to learn how to use Unity.
I've been playing around in Unity, so I could use that to make a game if I ever had the drive to do so.
Do you have no certification whatsoever? Then you need to showcase a solid project.
>Which technologies land you the comfiest job?
Obscure and outdated languages. Basically putting yourself in a position where you're the only person capable of doing your job in a 1000 miles radius.
Yes if they are good projects with lots of stars. But a reputable bootcamp is great, like Hack Reactor.
Also programing is literally about taking the concepts and just understanding them.
Someone with good logic can get real good at programming in a month and can learn other languages as well since they are all based on the same principles actions and statements.

this is a meme and actually a terrible way to learn programming. it's good for learning C afterwards though.
SICP is much better for a newbie.
>tfw only 1 year to go before I get my CompSci MSc
I might start right now senpai, it's not that late where I live, should I just go to /g/ to take a look at stuff?
I'm graduating with no internships. Glad I wasted my last 4 years for no job afterwards.
How's Erlang? I've used Prolog in the past and it uses an intersting paradigm.
No. Make small programs and watch tutorials or take a course at some university to get going.
psh, nothin personnel kid
Gave up because making anything I'd enjoy takes years of work. I can only finish shitty looking mobile tier games.
It happened to me bro 3 years later and I do peoples taxes. Trying to jump back in but most people ignore my applications at this point.
At first I found it a bit frustrating since I'm used to c++/c#/java etc. Now though I really like it. It's very elegant and intuitive when used for the right purpose.
I taught myself C++ back in college and got a job doing embedded IoT stuff in C. Shit's fun, but I deeply regret starting with C++ and not with C. A lot of things you have to unlearn, a lot of toys you don't have anymore
If you want to learn to program you should really learn C first. Just do some basic C programs to learn types, functions, etc., and some basic pointer and memory management. It will take you so much further than starting out with a language that does pointer/memory stuff for you. If you know what C++ or Java's cool toys are actually doing for you, you can use them more effectively
Not from scratch. But generally enough to get by in something like Unity, still learning as I go though.
Working on a save system right now, shit is finicky I'll say that.
>so bad I failed high school math, twice
>get by reasonably well considering how fucking stupid I am, the occasional math equation aside
I need to learn and use the more intermediate concepts though, and create less nets of referencing variables from scripts all over the place that fuck up if I change stuff later.
>javascript intermediates
???
>I might start right now senpai, it's not that late where I live, should I just go to /g/ to take a look at stuff?
Sure. If you can, always try to code an example of code you are reading about in books. You will understand much better why things are arranged the way they are, once you start from scratch on your own.
Always keep IDE open, ready to test few lines of code.
This way you will avoid making a shit ton of mistakes in more complex programs later on.
at least you didn't spend 3 years doing an internship you hate doing stuff you probably don't want to do ever again so most of that experience is useless anyways
>HTML and CSS are programming languages
All memes aside. I haven't really programmed much in the last five or so years. If I wanted to make a small game today, is c++ still good or should I learn something else?
>C# for experts
Wait, I thought C# was borderline kiddie/pooinloo tier?
Is graduating without an internship in CS/engineering really that bad of a situation? I'm in EE and I'm not getting any interviews right now and I'm a 3rd year.
first task: html, css, js
make a counter with a button to increment and decrement
C++ is the master race of languages, so you're good
In my opinion you should learn Python as your first language, then C as your second.
Python has a lot of abstractions and no boilerplate, meaning it's close to pseudocode, meaning it's easier to materialize the fundamentals of writing algorithms.
Then you should learn C to gain an understand of how your computer actually executes programs.
who cares
don't contribute to a sick system where your chances are based on your willingness to work for free and how much of a social media whore you are
No, it's just a meme thrown about by people who nothing about langugages or who uses the same 1~2 for a decade.
If my depression and rage are anything to go by then yes.
what about someone who barely understands how to turn a computer on but wants to try and win the lottery by making some cheesy mobile game and lots of money? Where to start? also scrolling through this thread has been way more helpful than asking stuff on stupid questions on /g/ and amateur game dev on /vg/.
These days it's more dependent on the engine you want to use. But I'd expect you would do fine with C++ for most things.
I suppose learning C# if you want to use Unity wouldn't go amiss.
It's pretty bad for CS, you'll pretty much have to start working for a sub 50k salary in decent sized city where you'll probably be scraping by. Luckily it's pretty easy to jump ship after a year or two for a less embarrassing salary.
>OOP is good for gaymes
lmao
Data-Oriented Design is what you want.
You should listen to some talks by actual developers. This guy from Insomniac Games for example.

>Get code test
>Literally nothing that you solve there will be used when actually working
Why do they do this?
Insomniac is full of LIBTARDS
I thought unity was c++ based, what am I confusing it with?
These days you probably have more of a chance of winning an actual lottery than making a profitable mobile games.
No
Unreal Engine. That has a C++like scripting language.
Unreal uses c++
>Data-Oriented Design is what you want.
That depends on subsystem in question. Some parts of the engine don't need to be data oriented at all, if we are talking about high brow engine programming.
I can, but I don't know how.

yes. I have a somewhat successful game on Steam and some other storefronts that I made in GameMaker a couple years ago.

UE is completely free to use and develop for and release games with, but they take a 5% cut after you've made like 10k or something from a game. Unity get their money from a subscription fee(and the Unity Asset Store, their big money maker), but has a free version with a watermark. Though I do think you have to upgrade to a commercial license when your game starts to make money.
I.E, UE is friendlier to people who are just starting out, but Unity is nicer if your game becomes successful.
It works.

Wait... is that still a thing?
HTML and CSS aren't programming languages. Pythton and C# are about the same level.
I see only one cout in there
what's wrong with more than one loop
>the candidate said it will find ALL numbers so it should work
well he's technically correct
>Python and C# are about the same level.
Python uses same commands like JavaScript. You need to import the System library first to make C# programs even work in the first place.
No idea how to simplify all that into 1 loop. Also, why are strings bad?
I'll take it
I know that vectors are basically arrays that can be resized, but I don't know why that would be useful in this problem.
Can you elaborate? How should I simplify this?
You'll have more than 3 tab-ins with a single loop. Next.
>can I code...
yes
>...games
no
That second loop doesn't really need to exist. You could just make a vector/array of the 4 suits then randomly pick one at the end in the cout statement
lol
My brain just locks up when I have people sitting over my shoulder and judging me while I try to solve a problem, I think I chose the wrong industry.
if you want to learn in a structured way is the best way to do it by downloading some random college level syllabus and following it? or are those interactive tutorials good or maybe just an old fashioned text book?
I get that, it just seems like a lazy way to do it. When I asked why they did that in my last job, they gave me similar answers. Then I asked them why they didn't ask the interviewees why they did X or Y, they were just fucking blown away by the idea that doing so could tell them more about how they solved things. And it seems like half the coding tests I've seen are similar. I can understand doing that in a big ass company with thousands of employees and hundreds of recruitments going on at the same time, like Google or Amazon, but most companies are not like that and have don't handle a great influx of applications.
My best job was with a company that just asked me about coding, why or when I used X or Y, etc. They didn't even bother with a written code test, which I thought was odd. Literally everyone in there was competent, delivered right on time, was helpful and friendly. It just feels like I live in an alternate reality sometimes. My worst job was with a company that had retarded coding tests that 90% of the applicants failed.
Syllabus and textbooks. Tutorials are how you end up a pajeet.

Fuck off proprietary nigger
Yeah basically. Delegates are references to functions you pass to other functions, correct? If so, then that's basically all it is.
For example, define your interface:
@FunctionalInterface
interface GetPS3Gaems{
public String getGaems();
}
Then, when you implement it, you basically store the function as a reference (sort of like a delegate) and can use that reference wherever like a first-class function.
public static void main(String args[]) {
GetPS3Gaems games = () -> "no";
System.out.println("PS3 has "+games.getGaems()+" games");
}

What's the source for this?

I don't understand. Why would he do i >= 100 in a for loop
Why would he do i = i%1
Why would he do output = result and i++ with some spurious if statements

Hey man when the spotlight is on you shit gets dumb.

for C#. Should I wait to start getting into Unity or should I be messing around with it, making my dream game while I learn?
I'm really puzzled by the answers from the two veterans. How can you last this long in the industry and give an answer this busted?
I am learning C# through the yellow book, then I am gonna do some short minigames and then get into Unity and maybe do something. I am doing this right?
Strings in C++ are hilariously retarded. They didn't even have a string class for years so you had to roll your own, and everyone did them slightly differently so there's a ton of subtle bugs that can occur if you try to use more than one library together (or if the library does it differently from how you expect).
They're prone to memory errors (lots of hacks depend on abusing c++ memory bugs, and strings are a common attack vector) and they're just really fucking slow to work with.
Basically never use strings except as the output of some program. Store all those cards as ints and then let cout handle the cast. They should have been char's anyways.

Of course
do EE since CS is for brainlets
Fuck, I keep forgetting that you can initialize arrays like that. This is a way better solution.
int main() {
string deck[13] = { "Ace", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "Jack", "Queen", "King" };
string suit[4] = {"Clubs", "Diamonds", "Hearts", "Spades" };
srand(time(NULL));
cout
Take a sample project and start modifying shit such as making a dash movement, double jump, and other shit. Not an actual game but just small mechanics.
That'll be your "hand-on" experience.
I suppose I have all the facilities available, but I am not employed as a developer so I spend my free time playing video games, or shitposting about them, not making them.
You're thinking of C/C++/Java. This is COBOL and Fortran country boy.
How do you store king as an int? 13 I guess.
I've had industry vets hand in some really awful code. And not on a whiteboard, but a homework problem where they had 24 hours to finish a simple problem.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Code that wouldn't even run after "20 hours" of work. Arbitrary use of recursion and functional programming to loop over an array of 5 elements (and do it wrong). I saw brute force approaches that failed in really obvious ways, or variables named x, xx, and xxx. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
use enums you whore
Pajeet, you can draw the same card twice.
This is what happens when companies flood every medium with the mantra "everyone should know how to code" so they can get cheap labor.
This is an example of why a bachelor's degree is worthless in this day and age.
Now they only problem is that you can draw the same card twice
That's nice and all but can you do THIS?
How long would it take me to become decent enough at C++ in order to make a living off it if I devote 4hrs per day on it?
I don't know what those are yet
fuck
Interview questions aren't like this anymore, right? This is some level-0 shit that nobody expecting to make 50k+ a year should be bombing in. Also, can't I bs my way through just writing/saying pseudocode to them?
>for x 0,49
>x*2+1
>x = random 0,51
>x%13 of x/13
Nobody should care that I don't know the exact syntax on the spot, right?
2 years.
Enums won't give you a text output.
It doesn't say anywhere in the question that it has to be different cards. Maybe you put the first one back after drawing it
What stops you from accidentally picking the same card twice?
That could work. You really don't need them to be strings until it's time to output them. You can argue that doing it once at the start is faster, but if it's a user facing game then the speed gains are negligible.
In a toy program like this it honestly doesn't matter though. I wouldn't fail someone for doing that.
>had an interview where the guy asked me what SQL was, but he said it like "sequel"
>tfw said no because of the way he said it
I'm sure they thought I was retarded
Your syntax should be mostly correct if it's a language you use a lot. They're more lenient about library use though; in one interview I used a library I wasn't sure actually existed, but since I explained the logic of what I was doing it was clear it didn't matter.
But you should be able to do loops, if statements and other basic shit flawlessly. Typos are fine, but if it's consistently wrong then you have a problem.
And yes, people do fail questions that simple all the fucking time.

199 out of every 200 people that apply to a job can't even fizzbuzz. I've interviewed some incredibly incompetent people, even ones with PHDs.
>Interview questions aren't like this anymore, right?
Only in like the initial phone interviews to make sure your credentials aren't faked.
Otherwise it's more about the fit or problem solving by having you pretend to fix a bug or develop a feature
>It doesn't say anywhere in the question that it has to be ONLY odd numbers
kek, same logic as the print out ALL numbers dude mate
>Maybe
Maybe you will get a job elsewhere.
>The original standard declared that the official pronunciation for "SQL" was an initialism: /ˌɛsˌkjuːˈɛl/ ("ess cue el").[12] Regardless, many English-speaking database professionals (including Donald Chamberlin himself[32]) use the acronym-like pronunciation of /ˈsiːkwəl/ ("sequel"),[33] mirroring the language's pre-release development name of "SEQUEL".
It's a perfectly valid way to say it.
maybe if you're an inbred retard
lel, obviously in an interview I would ask them to clarify first
Meh, it's a legitimate interpretation. If they can't even properly specify their task, it's their own fault
Yes, I recently made a wolfenstein clone with raycasting!
after copying 90% of the code from a tutorial
>Donald Chamberlin, the main that created and named SQL is an inbred retard because he says the word differently from I do
I know the basics but I dont know where to find information and how to learn programming actual interesting shit not some stupid fucking text programs. I wanna create something with an interface something useful or work with directx graphics.
while technically correct, I have never heard anyone call SQL sequel so I can understand that
>do you know what jif is?
Anywhere but /g/
Do you have an example that doesn't use strings till the end? I suppose I could write one but I hate programming on my phone.
>the main
>differently from I do
Really shooting yourself in the foot here by not proofreading, m8
This
is there any hope for a programmer who is a brainlet at math?
I feel like it's a real failure of CS programs how common this problem is. I remember in our second year my friend and I were discussing how we knew how to do all these algorithms for navigating and processing data but would literally be unable to make pong without ascii visuals.
Yeah. Go work in web development.
this is amazing. absolutely sending this to every underage who asks me how to do what i do. thanks based pastanon.
Yeah but you have no idea how I'm pronouncing the words so the main point still stands.
post how you learned
>stupid fucking text programs
>how to learn programming actual interesting shit not some stupid fucking text programs. I wanna create something with an interface
The obstacle exists only inside your mind. There is no actual difference between working with lines of text and elements of user interface or graphical sprites. It's all just numbers and plain old data. You already know how to do everything.
Not funny
Another mathlet here. As long as you have internet access and know how to google it's not that big of an obstacle.
Unless we're talking about ridiculously high-tier pure math, your problem is most likely your attitude. Thinking "I don't understand this because I'm bad at understanding this" means you take away your ability to ever learn it. Find something you ALMOST but not quite understand and read up on how exactly it works. Just take it in small chunks instead of having to learn all math that exists
That said, you'll be fine. I program backend and frontend C++ for a user-facing application and the hardest math I have to do in my job is understanding nested and/or statements
Ok, I added this. Am I hired now?
int main() {
string deck[13] = { "Ace", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "Jack", "Queen", "King" };
string suit[4] = {"Clubs", "Diamonds", "Hearts", "Spades" };
srand(time(NULL));
int card1 = rand() % 13, card2 = rand() % 13, suit1 = rand() % 4, suit2 = rand() % 4;
if ((card1 == card2) && (suit1 == suit2))
card1 = rand() % 13;
cout
>tfw front-end dev
no but im learning python on datacamp
please no bully
well i cant figure that shit out so im probably too stupid
>article from 2007
I feel like it should be completely different nowadays. At my school, the senior level courses were mostly chinks, indians and whites that weren't completely retarded. I highly doubt 99% of them can't write baby shit.
>pretend to fix a bug
I guess this is reasonable to ask. I know my game programming friends have trouble finding the root of their bugs, when I have to keep telling them to spam print statements.
You embarrass yourself.
You just wouldn't do the transformation until you already have the cards. Basically just move that if statement block. Again, not a good idea for a small toy program, but it may be useful on a heavier application.
There are a lot of examples where someone has code to the effect of:
if (x == "Possible EVent 1") {
...
} else ...
And it fails because the correct string is "Possible Event 1", or "Possible Event One" or some other slight difference. Your compiler won't even notice anything is wrong. Even if they all work, string comparisons are slow.
>if ((card1 == card2) && (suit1 == suit2))
>card1 = rand() % 13;
There's still a 1 in 13 chance you pick the exact same card. If this is for say a Texas Hold Em game enjoyed by millions of people then 76293 people will run into this bug on their first turn. If it's a gambling app with real money then they're going to be turbo pissed.
Yes. You will never be a Linus Torvalds, but if you want to make games using an existing engine you can get by quite comfortably, and what you need can usually be found through trial & error or googling.
That and learning math through coding is a lot easier than learning math through a textbook I've found.
I think it is technically correct which is the best kind of correct
I'm currently working my first job out of uni and they hired me without a single technical question asked. They just trusted me based on the great reputation of the institute I studied at and me describing some projects I'd done while studying
That's true. I should have used a while loop instead of an if statement.
There was a followup post that explained it better. It's not that 199 out of 200 people are incompetent, it's that 199 people you're interviewing are incompetent. Smart people get jobs quickly. Stupid people keep going to interviews because they never ever get jobs, so they outweigh the smart people.
I started doing interviews a few years back and I still get people that can't fizzbuzz.
>bugs only matter if enough people would be pissed
please user
for($i = 1; $i < 100; $i++){
. . $s = '';
. . if($i % 3 === 0){
. . . . $s .= 'fizz';
. . }

. . . . $s .= 'buzz';
. . }
. . if($s === ''){
. . . . $s = $i;
. . }
. . echo($s . '');
}
How'd I do?
Anybody want to be interview practice pals?
this is actually great advice for anyone who wants to be a computer scientist and is pretty much the standard pathway most undergrads would follow, epic gamer retards need not apply obviously
Jesus I would never do string comparisons unless that was the point of the program even then you could probably find away around it.
What language is that where .= is the equivalent of +=
It's just an example of how even a "tiny" bug can have big repercussions in the real world.
That said sometimes bugs aren't worth it. If in 1 week you can add a feature that gets you another 20k sales or work on a bug that only effects the Polish version (and only when it's run under windows 98) then that Polish guy might be pissed for a while. In real life there's always more shit to do, and some bugs really aren't worth it.
None of this would really come up in an interview though.
>can code
>can make music
>can't into art
Well I guess I'll never develop a game
PRÖÖÖÖÖÖÖH :DDD
Yeah fuck Poland
Yeah, no one intelligent would. Yet sometimes I see it, even in places where it literally makes no sense.
Tsundere Simulator is filled with retardation like this.
>company wanted me to make a simple website for them based on a set of images
>fucking easy
>get the job after making the website
>while working see someone reviewing other candidates their websites
>most of them didn't work at all, they couldn't even be opened
It was both hilarious and sad to see that, even ones that did work often just completely didn't look like the images they provided.
>Tsundere Simulator is filled with retardation like this.
Probably coded with dick in one hand.
Enum gang always shows up when you post that one image
I love it when someone posts that one screenshot and people go mad about switch statements and whatnot, when the actual problem is the fucking retard storing witnessed events like "Blood and Weapon and Violence" or whatever
Here's what you do
1. make your game with really shitty art, or with ripped spriteart
2. go to any website with artists who are into vidya design but can't into vidya making
3. "HEY I MADE A GAME ALL I NEED IS THE FUCKING ART"
If you can code well and waste your skills on games, you deserve your inevitable poverty
My friend interviewed a guy for a java programming job and he only had HTML experience.
5 years for a master's in CS and all he had ever done was HTML
I never did
jk, basically I just learned that you're supposed to use libraries and other prebuilt shit like that. first experience with libraries/UI was an engineering class I had to make an android app for with no experience in Java since I was the only one who had taken a CS class. at first I tried to write as much as possible from scratch and thought it was cheating/retarded if I didn't make everything myself, but that's not how shit works. next year I took graphics classes that used OpenGL and I fucked around with unity and unreal a little on my own time. if you want an easy project idea to learn how to use libraries I imagine something like a command line audio player would be a good start
How the fuck does that happen?
You get the feeling that people have a good understanding of the core fundamentals but nothing about good design. So they nitpick shit like "switch statements are faster" while ignoring huge structural problems.
>save a thousand dollars
>commission an artist
There you're done.
Your real issue is that you aren't committed enough to actually do it, right?
pretty based, because that's pretty much what i'm hoping would happen for me.
what institute?
How does that even happen? My uni had c++ java python and some other shit.
No one shitting on it is good news, I guess.
CS and EE are bros, its SE who are the brainlets
A German one
The other places I interviewed at did have some technical questions though
I don't know why you would use two arrays to store the cards. How I would do it was make a single array of all 52 cards then use a random function between and including 0 and 51 and pick the cards from those indexes.
For solving drawing the same card twice problem, do a while loop while drawing the second card and check if the second draw index equals the first draw index. If it does, draw again.
No fucking clue man. You can't even blame the poor guy, clearly it's completely the uni's fault for being absolute shit
EE
Or the real patrician choice Telecommunications
You would type out all 52 cards?
>How do I override toString???
so, where all the money and jobs are? neat
>final year of study
>internship time
>apply at a company way out of my league
>bullshit something about "yeah im bretty gud' while I did fucking nothing in class (still regret that)
>get the internship
>first day, boss tells me he'll be eager to see what I can teach him
>mfw
Since people are bringing it up let me post this instant classic.
Why not just shuffle the cards and pop them off a stack? You never have to redraw, and it lends itself better to games with multiple rounds / players.
I don't know, how DO you "override toString" for an enum in C++?
Yes but I'm cool with not being the literal field nigger of the programming industry.
Gamedev work is awful and they get away with it because like said it's a "passion field" so there's an endless supply of gullible kids getting into it for their dreams, getting burnt out after just a couple years of shit work for shit pay and getting replaced by a fresh crop of dumb kids who wanna "WorK FoR BidEo BameZ!!!"
This. Proper separation of concerns/modularization of code is the hardest part of programming. Everything else is just basic fucking logic.
Quite the opposite since its the most saturated part of the SE job market.
Game maker or unity? Yes they're both extremely easy to use and make a game in. Making an engine from scratch? Nope
I want to get into 3D graphics but having a fulltime job, wife, and kids I have 0 time or brainpower left
Please help
go with EE or SE, CS is for absolute brainlets
gamemaker is good for beginners, but basically 2d only. I hate unity though.
Does that matter? int comparisons are much easier to handle than string comparisons. The runtime is still the same (O)C and it's an easier way to handle the draw same card situations.
Another user rewrote that code snippet in a past thread.
I believe this was coded in assembly?
Goddamn that must've been hard
This post is abhorred by enum gang
Unity, it's a really amazing engine in the right hands
>while I did fucking nothing in class
I know that feel. I kind of bumbled my way through the courses. I don't know too much about your situation so I'm just gonna project hard and tell you how it was for me
>studying at great institute
>bunch of fucking insanely great and devoted guys in my year so there's always crazy people writing their own assembler code or finding bugs in compilers and stuff
>bumble my way through courses and finish degree
>somehow get hired for a fun programming job
>way overpaid
>turns out the most important things at uni were learning about system design and just generally learning how to code, you don't need to win 20 hackathons to be a good programmer
Mild impostor syndrome is cool
post the weekdays snippet to summon enum gang
>I have 0 time or brainpower left
Then how are you going to manage either?
Anything is great in the right hands. The problem is great hands are far and few between.
nigga the market is screaming for seniors in any specialty, especially webdev
Is there a way to handle shuffling using a function call? You would have to push each individual card into the queue and pop 2 right? Also, wouldn't you also have to re-shuffle the deck whenever you want to draw 2 every time?
But it does sound like a better way of handling the draw same card problem than a while loop.
Every game before the 5th gen was written in assembly.
fuck CS and fuck SE
Why not just pick a random number between 0 and 51 and if the faggot interviewer wants to actually have output that shows him it's THE ACE OF SPADES, THE ACE OF SPADES! then he can write it himself
How did I do, Yea Forums?
Bitch you're not a senior, you post on Yea Forums
They both have lots of jobs. EE is going to be a lot harder though
>bitwise operations to check one flag
Not even the worst code in gaming, just a circlejerk because everyone hates YandereDev
Doesn't even hold a candle to the guy who programmed an entire game without knowing what a loop was.
Doesn't most colleges put SE and CS as the same subject?
I cant code in anything except gamemaker but thats all I need. I can make music, I have cool unique ideas and can draw some sprites so I'm good
Sickening.
2/10 bait
Is that C#? Why would anyone ever capitalize a function name?
horrible, next
Something about cyclical complexity. If it works for you and you're the only one working on that part of a project, it's fine. But some people write really convoluted code that other developers can't understand so they just discourage it
I don't know what kinda game I wanna make
This pisses me off
>tfw you have to keep track of an index and can't use a range based for loop for once in your life
IT FEELS SO BAD GUYS

I'm using freecodecamp and struggling before even finishing the "Basics of Javascript" as a first time coder

This took me 5 hours
You don't really need a proper stack. If they're already in one array just shuffle the array (there are functions that do this in c++) and then have a single pointer at the start. Move the pointer for each card you draw. If you really only need two cards just read the first two and don't bother with the pointer.
You can argue this takes longer, but it's negligible. An array of 52 items is extremely quick to iterate on, especially for a user facing program. Even reshuffling between every turn just won't be noticeable.
Witnessed is a collection of flags.
Visual Studio recommends you to capitalize a function's name
What is the point of that x?
Don't need to read ITT to know it's interns bragging about writing in C++.
Any language without garbage collecting is outdated and not worth using, enjoy writing calculators on your CS courses though.
standards my proff forced on us
bullies

If you have set it up wrong, sure
Wtf bro how? I mean keep practicing itll get easier but damn
Well how about you run your code first and see what it does
I was trying to write it into an array at first but kept throwing errors so I opted for a string
ignore the x
whatever, señor

hope you pass your CS101 class
Don't ever write performance-critical software.
If you can't solve this in 45 minutes you're never gonna make it.

t. hasn't done kernel development or embedded systems
What's a good way to learn C++ as a newbie?

That's insane for coding game logic.
I'll be nice and tell you every problem I see at first glance

Sooooo what languages should I try to learn to get a job in 10 months to a year?
I didn't understand how to separate the last return part of the solution to that. It kept returning and exiting the function. I also didn't even realize return would exit the function the first time it hits LMAO. I have about 20 hours of coding experience now and a very low IQ
no my dear ESL
Have fun with your shit performance
That's just how it is when it's installed desu never bothered to change anything
>kernel development
Who here
>too brainlet to learn to program?
Tried 3x already and every single time I find it comes down to using Stack Overflow until it makes sense while not having a fucking clue what you just did. All while spending eveyr bit of your free time trying to git gud when in reality gud comes down to who has more free time than you.
you don't, choose java or c#
Well I'm sure the whole game structure could be reworked but that's a bit of work for a Yea Forums thread.
SE is just CS with less math though
ok im fucking retarded i think i fixed it
code readability is far more important than your precious nanoseconds
There is no way writeline(int[]) magically prints one of the numbers in the array and then advances one step
SE is literally just a less rigorous CS where you don't learn anything besides how to mindlessly grind out code in Java or maybe Python and C if your uni isn't trash.
Don't even gt me started on the money-grubbing Data Science tards who wanna pretend their glorified data entry work is a real STEM field and not just a bunch of hypebeast bullshit in a bubble that's gonna burst any day now and leave them jobless.
Absolutely based
have fun killing yourself over memory leaks
I want to learn how to code but I don't even know how to begin.
that's not what the code he posted does at all
much better
>not doing a loop from 0 to 49 in which you add 2*i+1 to the array
lmaoing at your life
Aren't they desperate for software engineers right now? There's only 50k CS grads a year and it's growing over 300k jobs a year. Shouldn't they be less picky and willing to train?
>don't even know how to begin.
by getting a book and reading it while doing the exercises it provides
That's funny because most of the time it's games made in C# that have memory leaks.
you can still switch to another thing user, this isn't for you
odds is no longer used, delete it.
Replace < 101 with
Outsourcing pajeets and changs exists.

{
oddNums += i.ToString() + "\n";
}
}
Console.WriteLine(oddNums);
Console.ReadLine();
you have it backwards, CS retards are the codemonkeys who endlessly shit out code, SE are those who structure a project, get the requirements, etc
Then why is literally all of embedded and systems programming done in either C or C++ then?
Just because your ADHD means you forget to free what you malloc when you're "moving fast and breaking things" (ie writing unmaintaiable spaghetti code that crashes if you breathe on it) doesn't make it a bad language you absolute brainlet mong.
I am reading this book and it seems good so far.
Anyone has an opinion on it?
Any particular book you recommend?
>Company outsources code
>it's fucking shit and barely works
>need to spent more time fixing the code
Every single time
murach's books are pretty good for web stuff like html, javascript, java, javabeans, servlets, etc
you can get almost all of htem for free with just some googling i think there's a site called itebooks
>Console.WriteLine(oddNums);
>outside of the for loop
That's not what I was referring to at all you little faggot
wow you seem really booty bothered by some syntax maybe take that stick out of your ass and take a deep breath faggot
I'm starting to feel you legitimately need at least 115+ IQ to learn programming. I'm tested around 102 and I can't learn basic for loops
dude if I can pick up for loops as a spic, i'm sure you can too. just read a book.
You're too stupid to understand what the second loop did. Shut the fuck up
Stop bullying user, everyone starts somewhere faggot
I'm taking a game development course right now, wish me luck!
Drop it this very instant.
Is this bash?
you're really cool user how long until your billion dollar app comes out?
Guys help
I tried to do this and for some reason it won't accept my code
good lord almighty man
why do you have the for loop on 25-29
just print the oddNums (the readline is fine w.e)
Also get rid of the x and odds variables if you dont use them
then it will at least be passable
stop with this iq bullshit. it might be hard at first because its new and usual but you'll get it eventually.
What about for loops is giving you trouble?
I am dangerously close to sharing this reality. I'm going to try and get an internship soon.
parenthesis after contacts
I don't know man, depends what kinda route you wanna take, or at least what language you want to use as your first if you have a preference.
Like for python: automate the boring stuff,
for c: c programming a modern approach
or c++ : c++ primer
java and c# i don't know.
Commenting on that other user's reply, the only experience with murach books I have is for enterprise Java and that's a specific topic. Overall it's pretty good and gets on topic
>app programming
Yeah but i suck at art so i usually stick to shitty 2D games with stolen SNES sprites and scribbly crap i can make in ms paint
Yeah dude, what did you struggle on? This is also basic web dev shit, you're going to have to iterate through tons and tons of javascript objects/objects in general on a daily basis.
is his mom permanently at the facility? Why the fuck aren't you making the pocket?
I get that this is retarded but what's a standard way of doing something like this if you're making a game?
1: Drop at half the total height. Check if broken.
if it is: do the same with "bottom" half
if not: drop from "top" half.
Repeat.
2: no clue lol
3:50/50 It either is or isn't.
enjoy wasting your time user
Whoops that was a typo
Still didn't work though
For some reason it doesn't know what a const ref is
Reading SICP is literally retarded nowadays, unless you're already an experienced programmer interested in the few things the book has to offer.
If you're a total novice you're better off reading Think Python (greenteapress.com
>b-but it's Python
Not an argument.
t. someone that has already read SICP
Why? Difficulty or is this a job related answer?
I haven't even learned half of what you're writing there. auto const, contains, std cout, contact.at...haven't been introduced to that yet
What the FUG
Don't you mean "printfs"?
>saying desu before a sentence
Wow this really hurt my brain to read.
You are totally correct, however. The kind of person who can do art + programming, both to the standard that they actually deliver something is generally very rare.
>game development course
not even memeing user, just get your money back. nobody that has ever taken a class that has gone on to have a meaningful career. if you wannae be good you gotta go balls to the wall and learn 3d environments and all the math they entail

lel user
I wrote C code as a joke. I know absolutely nothing about javascript other than I hated it at uni
>not wanting to achieve Satori
Yes, mislead the newfags.
All the SE programs I've seen make you take way less of the math and lower-level programming classes than the CS program.
Instead they make you take Software Development classes that teach you how to annoy the people working with you with micromanagemant over "proper style" and "best practices" while they're forced to endlessly refactor all of your redundant ArrayBuilderFactoryBuilderFactories in 50 different class files.
It is, is just awful bait.
c++ is a meme and barely used in actual job offers, it's only brought up by brainlets trying to act smart
just use standard libraries in any language because these are solved problems and you don't have to think about sophomore level exam questions in The Real World™

It's a shame no one on Yea Forums likes to collab.
I don't know about game programming because I don't enjoy being paid next to nothing while working 60+ hour weeks, but I'm assuming the answer is the same as it would be for a real program: Bitsets
You've probably already left the thread, but I interview people a lot, generally around 1 candidate a week.
If you're still here and have any questions, shoot. That goes for anyone else, too.
I've been programming for 5 years and have no idea how to find the odd numbers. I don't think I've ever needed to do this.
Fuck interview questions.
/vg/ has a gamedev general i think but everyone on /vg/ is an autistic tranny so i'd be wary
Depends on the market. C++ is still widely used, it's never going to be a bad idea to be proficient in C++ in the foreseeable future.

Oh really? I was looking at potential games developer positions and a lot of them were using C++.
What's so based about C# or Java?
But I'm learning how to make games and how to work in a project without being a complete sperg!
To be fair I just started to learn to program for the first time this last couple weeks and that's still the first section.
But I don't get why when it checked my conditions running this:
for (var x = 0; x < contacts.length; x++) {
if (contacts[x]["firstName"] == name && contacts[x].hasOwnProperty(prop) == true) {
return contacts[x][prop];
}
if (prop != name) { return "No such property";
}
else { return "No such contact";
}
Why does it keep returning early on? I ended up making the whole thing work by putting return No Such Contact at the very bottom outside the brackets. I know return stops the function or whatever but shouldn't it not hit the early checkboxes true/false for the first two return statements and just go to that last else statement and work?
I really don't understand programming t. brainlet
I thought they got rid of those wordfilters when moot left? Or is it a new one?
What's your greatest weakness?
I mean we got Katawa Shoujo so there's that...
But yeah, all the programming team projects people try to put together on /g/ or the gamedev general go nowhere.
I've been waiting months for this image to be reposted. I'm a codelet, so I need to know. Is the code commented as

Meant to be ironic or legit good?
big yikers my dude
1. half and half and half again
2. greedy algo that looks for nearby highest and iterates in n time.
3. 1 - (0.2 ^ 19)
Third one I'm not really sure about, just guessing.

I just want someone to chat with about solving leetcodes etc and keep each other motivated.
