Thank you! I'll keep this all in mind. I've considered Python before, but I've never looked into Lua! I think my goal is eventually to learn C#, but I figure it'd be better to start with Python or Lua.
Tysm for the links to programs to try!!! I wouldn't have known what programs to even use to try out these coding methods n stuff. I'll absolutely check those out :)
What makes things easier for me is game creation programs that are WYSIWYG for easily seeing what you're affecting. Or, if I want to just learn the programming straight out, I think I'd love to find some sort of game that teaches it. With my ADHD, gamification works wonders on keeping me engaged.
Hence why TLoP is amazing! Let me just say, I was SO happy when I found this game. I was having no luck finding any games that game-ified coping mechanisms other than like, breathing ones! Then I saw this game and was like "this is EXACTLY what I was looking for holy crap!"
Id love to make games like this one day. Not exactly like this of course, but maybe for other coping mechanisms and stuff. Basically, I'd love to learn to make games that help people like yours helps me :D
