No, really. Take a good, long look at what you've made.
Appreciate what you've created. Be proud of what you did. Your parents can't put out a single line of even buggy lua (okay, that's a big assumption, we'll say "most people"). Most people don't have the extreme hair ripping patience it takes to be a programmer, or game developer. Our craft takes time, effort, and scariest of all: advanced mathematics.
Nobody ever said programming was easy.
Actually, scratch that.
Nobody ever said that learning to program was easy.
Eh, closer, but not quite.
Nobody ever said that learning to program was easy and was correct.
Today, I want you to take a step back. Forget the fact that it's full of holes, just take a look and appreciate all that you have created. Acknowledge it's flawed, that it's incomplete. But more importantly: acknowledge that it's your own. You've done more than can be achieved by most people your age, most people even.
Keep trying, keep failing, keep learning from your mistakes. Eventually you'll fail your way to becoming the "they" in "they should make ..."
Good luck; have fun.
It's delightful, It's delicious, It's delovely! |

What do you mean with advanced mathematics? I suck at math in school and I can still script. Even my programming teacher says that there is basically no math in programming. |

No math in programming? Your teacher is dumb. A majority of it is math, while the other part is syntax lol |

Yeah programming is essentially maths.
P.S Maths not math :3 |

Learning the syntax is the easy bit, coming up with how to use it is the hard part. |
|
|
Dunno, all the scripts I make doesn't use any math formula. Very few scripts in roblox use maths. Unless you call algorithms math... |
|
|
Computer Science means problem solving.
Therefore math. |

Ironially, the maths involved in programming can be solved with a calculator, olololololol |

calculators are lame.

You should read that SH blog post. |

Where is math in this?
local Enemy = script.Parent.Enemy
function PwntX_X()
local tag = Enemy:findFirstChild("creator")
if tag ~= nil then
if tag.Value ~= nil then
local Leaderstats = tag.Value:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
if Leaderstats ~= nil then
Leaderstats.Yen.Value = Leaderstats.Yen.Value + 30
Leaderstats.Exp.Value = Leaderstats.Exp.Value + 10
wait(0.1)
script:remove()
end
end
end
end
Enemy.Died:connect(PwntX_X)
Most scripts requires logic/common sense. You don't have to be good at maths, I believe your math grades can be terrible, but you can still be a programmer if you're good at it. |

Hehehehe heheh, me too. Heheheh |

@barb
I don't get it why you have to be so arrogant. If there is something you want to say, then say it straight. |

i got 10 from maths this fall (for you letter people: the best grade you could get) and im top of my class
however i have done nothing with the stuff i have learned, because they still haven't taught us how to apply it to anything
im expecting a lot from physics this year, just so i could put this math into actual use |
|
|
I am horrible at maths and physics (however at certain math subjects I am sometimes good). The only thing that I understand is Chemistry, which also requires maths. It needs math, but I understand it... When it is math lesson I fail at 80% of the stuff.
I never understood Physics and all my grades were mostly F. |

Perhaps the essential "issue" is not the quantity of mathematical-knowledge, it is the quality of such knowledge.
My usage of the term "quality" refers to the type of mathematical knowledge utilized.
Typically, disregarding geometrical/physical manipulation, the primary sort of mathematical-knowledge commonly utilized would be a combination of basic-arithmetic and logical-symbolism, in conjunction with concepts often found within algebra.
Thus, rather than focusing on whether it is existent in the systematic flow of computer-programming, we should simply focus on which aspect is necessary to utilize to accomplish a given task. |
