wELP Im stupid.

NO! You are NOT stupid.

This is an extremely common mistake. It's one you will probably make at least once on every project (multiple times for larger projects). Everyone does. It's one of many simple errors you learn to look for first so you can fix it before tweaking your code.

If you only take one thing from this experience, I want it to be learning to not get down on yourself for making simple errors and mistakes; they aren't character flaws, they're just a part of the task. NO ONE writes perfect code the first time, every coder uses a debugger.

Hey uh quick question. I dont know if your very fluent on the topic but im trying to make a little console to put my games on

Any kits or ideas?

Game Professor4 years ago

Do you mean a "console" as in you are trying to build hardware or a "console" as in a little text output window?

Hardware

While hardware isn't my area, my son has been learning electronics from this youtube series that says they will conclude by creating an 8-bit computer. Maybe that will help?

Oh also. Theres something i need help with. Im looking to starting a team and i wanted to know if you knew any good websites to find some people?

Mostly people seem to connect through Discord these days. Though there are also various groups on Facebook and Reddit.

If you want to start a game dev team, you might want to join the next Beginner's Circle Jam (starts in 9 days) and see if you can recruit from there. Good luck!
