If I'm advertising in coding_for_teens sorry I thought it's not breaking the rule cuz this is a coding subreddit. So it's not off topic

I'm 14 and I wanna learn coding and computer engineering but I have no idea where to start. I wanna learn something that's fun but challenging and that'll actually help me in life and stuff. It's just really confusing but I want something that I can build things with that aren't just websites or apps. Also every time I do try learning something properly I get lost and then stop

EDIT: What about lower level languages would their be a benefit in learning them specifically rust and c and c++.

hello people of reddit im on my third year of uni as a cs major and ive lost my motivation to learn thanks to ai basically ruining this major.

by any chance are there any other students to feel the same and wanna make a group to try and learn together to regain the motivation? doesnt have to be in the same niche but as long as we can chat and learn any concept in cs, like i wanna learn gamedev and ive learned c++ and c on my first year with some oop and as of rn im learning some backend with php and c#.

if anyone wants to join either reply to this post or dm me and we can chat on discord.

Grab the Tech is a new hackathon in Uttarakhand with 1 lakh in prizes. It's fully online and ideas are submitted until 25 November. If you're building something cool or want to watch, join our WhatsApp community. Link in DM. We welcome students, indie hackers, and, first time builders.

Im currently working on my own video game, programmed entirely in java. i feel like im pretty good at programming, but since im so new to game development i would like to ask if any one else who has built a game before if they have any tips. or suggestions. if you would like to support me, here is my youtube where i have devlogs of what ive made:

https://www.youtube.com/@FishyBusinessGameDev

a few things that would really help:

* how to tackle large subprojects: boss fights, particle systems, physics, etc... (less about the actual code, more like how to make it feel less overwhelming).

* how to make the game more fun to play.

* qol things that i might not think about.

I'm still somewhere between beginner and intermediate.

Here's what I'm familiar with:

●Python and MicroPython

●HTML and CSS

●Working on Smart Home projects, both virtually and in real life.

●Connecting sensors and working with I2C.

●Using displays such as OLEDs.

●Working with some motors, such as servo motors, and encoders, such as rotary encoders.

●Connecting microcontrollers to the Internet and sending data to platforms like Blynk.

I'm still having some trouble getting the hang of the MPU6050 (accelerometer + gyroscope).

I'm constantly learning, and I'd love to keep exploring and improving along the way.

I'm looking for a team or like-minded people who are interested in exploring new ideas, experimenting, and working on projects together.

I'd love to improve my skills, learn new things, share ideas, and build things as a team.

As for availability, I'm usually free late at night (Egyptian time, UTC+2)

Hope anybody is interested.🙃

Basically I am a noob in this tech stuff. recently I got an idea and started working using chatgpt guidance, happened to use codex, github copilot extensions in VScode. So, my flow goes this way, I go to chat gpt, get the prompt and paste in codex in vs code and it take care of the code. But the free quota is getting exhausted way quickly even after the tips used (got from youtube and instagram), even the tokens of the paid one.

So, now I am looking into the coding agent that i can use for free in VS code. I didn't check the youtube for this as I am hoping the best fit suggestions here.

Thank you
