I Really Want To Do Coding
but i suck at it. I want to know the simple steps and lines of code I can use to create characters and stuff. I originally wanted to make a game like SKYRIM in code, but I think PONG is beyond my limits. 
So if anyone knows how to do code (advanced code) then send me an email [removed] or text [removed]. Make sure you tell me who you are, or I'll be creeped out. D:

Heavy artillery is the answer to everything! Try it.

Re: I Really Want To Do Coding
Which programming language are you trying? I'd suggest starting out with Python 3. It'll make learning other languages much easier. Programming in Python for the Absolute Beginner is how I learned it. Don't expect to make Skyrim (or Pong) yet. First get familiar with the language you like, and then choose a good 2D graphics- and game- engine. Only then should you try out a 3D engine, and possibly make your own. The whole process will probably take a long time, but it's the only way you can learn things well.

I agree with all that. After Python, try moving to Java or C++ so you can make faster and more professional games.

Re: I Really Want To Do Coding
The hardest thing in programming is learning the language. Just like with spoken or written language, you must practice it until you know it well. After that, making sentences (or lines of code, in this case) is a snap. Just keep practicing!

I totally agree.
