Does anyone know how I might get into learning C? I want to make a simple RPG to play in my terminal but I don't know a lick of programming...

>>711 Literally just write a program and you will learn by googling syntax If you are on linux you likely have a preinstalled resource for the stdlib (ew) and (most) linux interfaces >rpg puts() is as good as any high-level shitlang.
>>
>>711 "Modern C" by Jens Gustedt is more or less the default C beginner book. There is a CC version (https://inria.hal.science/hal-02383654/file/ModernC.pdf) so you don't even need to libgen it. >a simple RPG to play in my terminal Elaborate?
>>
>>711 Anon we all start somewhere and it's okay to start with a scripting language like Python. Learn enough Python to build your simple game then move on if you feel like it. No need to commit to one language for all time. Sorry this didn't really answer your question. >>716 This is good advice for your 2nd language but if you don't know how to program at all you'll need some guidance to get started.
>>
>>716 >puts() is as good as any high-level shitlang. I think OP wanted to make something like nethack and not 100% text, but I could be interpreting it wrong. In that case I recommend looking into (n)curses, however it WILL be very frustating, as there is little documentation, but it is doable. Just make sure to gather some more programming experience and keeping this on your backlog, before starting with it, as it's a bit advanced. >>721 As this anon, said, you probably should start with an easier language first. Sure, you can try C, but it will much likely be frustrating and not very fun. Ncurses bindings exist for Python as well, so you can make your terminal RPG with that too. See here: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/curses.html For learning Python just pick up some book from the last 10 years about the language (it's important that it is Python 3 and not Python 2.7) and read through it. The book or course or video playlist doesn't matter as much, as does practice. It's important you try as much stuff out as possible, so you make mistakes and learn from them, but also because you'll gain an understanding of programming overall. If you don't know which book to choose, just try this: https://libgen.rs/book/index.php?md5=922B856D66574746B69EC69E67C20A17 In case you don't like authors writing style, the examples or find it otherwise not helpful, just search through libgen with keywords such as "Python programming", "Learn Python" or "Python Course"

Just use haskell people seem to have a very wrong opinion on it. It's super easy to use and it's extremely fast out of the box, almost on par with C, only 5% slower at most!

My battle station is a mess of cheap peripherals, wires and a cheap laptop. Empty uncomfortable table. That's all. My room doesn't have anything my mom hadn't put there.

>>628 >Arch he actually uses systemd

>>539 as many have already said, linux mint is what i recommend to any beginner. it is my favorite "just werks" distro. i use the default cinnamon DE version on laptop for college and it does me just fine. it functions similar to windows, is based on debian (and is therefore stable), and comes with all the bells and whistles a noob would want from a distro. most games work fine on linux now as well so if you're a gaymer you'll have no issues as installing steam is either one command in the terminal or a few clicks in the software manager.
>>
>>539 I am using gentoo although I wouldn't recommend it to a beginner. I suppose mint or ubuntu are the most user friendly distros out there.

Lua because it's really comfy It gives a developer lots of freedom to solve problems in a way that is suitable, with the features the problem needs and nothing more. My current long-term project is an RPG written in Love2D (which I adore for giving me a useful toolbox to make games quickly without tying me to a whole engine, though Tiled support sucks a bit), and I'd like to eventually use Lua to write 90% of the code for my dream game (a far larger RPG). There's a lot to critique with lua but the absolute freedom it gives me, along with the nice community and the fact it doesn't require much mental effort to work in makes it my favourite.

>>666 something tells me i should not use Lua

You guys just made me interested in gentoo again. I used it for a couple years back when i was a noob and exploring. It was a bit difficult to set up then , over 10hrs of compilation. LOL this time it'll be much easier

>>472 qbittorrent is open source (you dont need to read the code though), find in what directory its looking for the icons and swap the picture out for something to your liking >I mean there are presets I saw somewhere sometime on the internetz You should be able to find that too unless they did some web-based bs, in that case there is a forum you can ask in: forum.qbittorrent.org
