At the minute I haven't really done much of either, kind of learning as I go.

My problem is more finding the time to do much. I have watched a lot of different tutorials, but don't think I've been stuck in tutorial hell for very long. Generally if I'm going to do something, and I have the time, I do it. When I made this game, I didn't use any tutorials as such, looked up a couple of things around using tools embedded in the game engine and the syntax, but the rest of it was either coded as new, or for some things taken from past attempts that did include snippets from tutorials.
