Programming first steps (copied from elsewhere)

Alright, so there are people here that want to learn programming (more specifically for gamedev)

Here is a collection of (imo) good places to start:

Block programming: Don't let the snobs discourage you from this, block programming is an entirely valid way to learn things!

  • Scratch: You know what this is. It's a really good way to learn in my opinion, though it's changed a lot since I last used it
  • Hour of Code: A collection of short block programming courses. Minecraft Adventurer and Designer are good ones, in my opinion. (Hour of Code is aimed at a younger audience so may feel slightly patronizing)
  • Blockly Games (https://blockly.games/): A much more obscure and older block programming course, but also very good in my opinion! Not as... "annoying" as Hour of Code, lets you focus more on your code
