How I Learned to Code My Own Game

Play the game (it only works on desktop btw sorry!):

This month, I learned to code my own game from scratch! I used Javascript and the P5 library to learn to code a browser based game.

(thanks for the inspiration!)

"I ALWAYS GET THIS ERROR", "I DIDN'T EVEN CHANGE ANYTHING"
Learning programming is more about learning how to read errors than anything else.

Stages of coding:
Day 1: Nothing works and I have no idea why.
Day 1000: Everything works and I have no idea why.

9:13 "I didn't change anything!" :D
As a programmer, this sums up my world pretty accurately.

[mousaalfhaily-projects]

As a programmer... I absolutely loved this
The errors part... Was hilarious 😂

Hey! Amazing work! So fun to discover your channel and thanks for the mention of the coding train! I'm working on a JavaScript library that does pitch detection from a microphone so it would be fun to make a version of the game where the user actually has to sing the right pitch!

7:07 Hasn't left the house.
Hasn't gotten dressed.
Has only eaten candy.
Yeah he's embraced the programming lifestyle.

7:31 Every coder has said that exact sentence at least once

[greasybunz]

I love the way your accent emphasizes “error” 🙃🙃🙃

Imagine Mike applying for a job

Employer: What are some talents that you have?
Mike: I can slingshot, break glass with my voice, throw an axe, code, I can do muscle ups, and more

I hope to see more of this Michelangelo Boydiolo guy in future videos Mike!

Me: goes to technology school for 3 years and doesn’t learn any coding

Mike: learns how to code a game in 18 hours

[Tsukinotaku]

8:40 Trust me. Even after three years of programming, I still get way too many of those error message and its the same for others around me...
Error messages are part of the daily life of a programmer...

9:24 welcome to the world of programming mate

[technobabble]

As someone who knows how to program this is weirdly nostalgic.

[shanesanchez]

This video has reignited my interest in programming. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

[Pookabear]

Mike, I would love to see you learn how to draw. I think it would be really awesome to watch!

02:30 “this’s gonna be a piece of cake”

09:24 😂

i love the fact he just picked up a language a libary and got down to work instead of spending year of asking what is the best language or library just get something done be proud of it

[msykuge]

8:50: if you are a programmer this is probably he most fun part

[FilippideGaia]

He spent 15 days working without rest. When he was done he was probably exhausted. Then, he had to edit and upload this video. Congratulations Mike, you're a beast
