Silentdarkness1 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Absolutely correct. The most basic components of Don't Starve do run off of C+, but you're not really expected to try and modify that. So yeah, it's lua for you. Start off with basic lua tutorials, then start with the Don't Starve sample mod. Then start dissecting other mods and learning how they work and don't work. I can't think of a video tutorial for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Problematicr Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 The best is Game Maker, but it isn't really a language, so i'll go with Python for the most fun language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosten Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Coding is fairly easy as long as you have the mental capacity to wrap your head around certain concepts and memorize the syntax of different languages. Right now i'm learning Python, in my opinion the easiest and most "fun" language to learn. http://www.codecademy.com/ should help you with learning a variety of languages, including Java, the language best known for being used in Minecraft, Ruby, the language that RPGmaker uses, and Python. Sadly it has no tutorials for C++, C# or Lua yet. Although I think the site is aimed more at begginners, and, from what I hear, C++, C# and the like are more advanced users, I would suggest going through the Python course and then seeking out additional help in learning other languages from different sources like Books, the Internet (Duh) or maybe even on this forum.

Rosten Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 codecademy teaches Javascript, not Java. Ugh. I knew I was gonna stick my foot in my mouth somewhere along that post.Oh well, it's all the same when it's in your coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezecib Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Javascript is actually not that different from Lua, though. They both use the tables-as-objects and loose typing. I think it handles iteration a little differently, though, but I'm not THAT familiar with Javascript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetrified Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) @Blazingice26, +1 for codecademyGreat website even if I didn't hear about it until way to late. codecademy teaches Javascript, not Java. I recommend taking any of their courses, though, it'll help you think a bit more like a programmer, maybe even try some projecteuler challenges. and A LOT of skills in programming are transitional. Google really comes in handy for specific language nuances though. Edited January 4, 2015 by tetrified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
