I have ideas to make games but can't for the life of me get to grips with coding them. I'm still not grasping how everything works and how to implement ideas and workout solutions.
I have this game I'm making called BubblePop and I've reached the stage where I have to code the engine. I get stuck and don't know how to proceed so I abandon coding and look for other activities to do(getting banned on forums).
I would post on the forum to ask help but then I have doubts because the problem may be simple and I might get laughed at. So I don't post.
I've tried various methods to get motivated when I hit a stumbling block with coding and it works to some extent. The problem is that when I can't figure out how to code what I want to code I lose interest fast. This causes a lot of frustration for me especially when I see other people plodding along just fine and releasing games.
What should i do?
Should i start with just a pong game, then supe it up? Should I then try and do something different like Space Invaders or any other game that doesn't require a lot of skill as a coder?
Any other noobs out there in the same boat as me?
