Ah

Well what I'm making is a game, and it still has more CSS than JS...

Though I'll be fixing that soon, as soon as I implement chemical reactions.

And by soon I mean tomorrow, it's almost 10:30 PM

DON'T GIVE ME HINTS LOL

I want to learn to code; do you have any recommendations for websites to learn from?

Khan Academy is good at basics.

[NerdSandwich she/her]

Agreed. I learned Python on it.

[Adonalsium Will Return He/him]

I made a simple chase game on p5js, and I was wondering if anyone would want to suggest improvements. 

Spoiler

function setup() {
  createCanvas(400,400);
}
let smileX=200;
let smileY=200;
let hunterX=200;
let hunterY=1000;
let hunterSpeed=6;
let hunterTracking=1;
function draw() {
  background(255);
  strokeWeight(1.5);
  stroke(100,200,100);
  if (keyIsDown(LEFT_ARROW) && smileX>10) {
    smileX-=10;
    hunterX-=hunterTracking;
  } 
  if (keyIsDown(RIGHT_ARROW) && smileX<390) {
    smileX+=10;
    hunterX+=hunterTracking;
  } 
  if (keyIsDown(UP_ARROW) && smileY>20) {
    smileY-=10;
    hunterY-=hunterTracking;
  } 
  if (keyIsDown(DOWN_ARROW) && smileY<390) {
    smileY+=10;
    hunterY+=hunterTracking;
  }
  point(smileX, smileY);
  line(smileX-5,smileY-15,smileX-5,smileY-10);
  line(smileX+5,smileY-15,smileX+5,smileY-10);
  noFill();
  arc(smileX,smileY-5,15,5,TWO_PI,PI);
  fill(255,0,0)
  stroke(255,125,125)
  strokeWeight(3)
  circle(hunterX,hunterY,20);
  if(hunterX>smileX){
    hunterX-=hunterSpeed;
  }
  if (hunterX<smileX) {
    hunterX+=hunterSpeed;
  }
  if (hunterY<smileY) {
    hunterY+=hunterSpeed;
  }
  if (hunterY>smileY) {
    hunterY-=hunterSpeed;
  }
}

W3Schools too.. but more when you already kinda know stuff and are looking for info on how to do something you already know. If that makes sense.

To be honest, Scratch might be useful too lol

(Or any of the other websites that are similar)

It uses drag-and-drop block coding (so, not a lot of typing), but teaches you a fair amount of fundamental Computer Science/Programming language concepts. Just.. be aware that there is a large social/community aspect (which you don't necessarily have to engage in at all), but may be distracting eventually, to the point where you find yourself spending more time chatting/commenting than coding. But yeah.

I didn't use Khan Academy much.. but from what I did do, it was pretty good I think.

 

I'm excited that you want to learn coding :3

Well, KA is good, but when I did it (like 6 years ago) it was kind of outdated

I recommend w3schools, if you're fine with just reading articles

That was me on KA...

EDIT:

I'm having to add like an extra twenty lines to work around this

wait cant u just do

console.log(x==[ ])?

if not,

newX = (x == [ ])
console.log(newX)

They all return false

x is a list?

trying to see if it's empty?

try checking if the length is 0

if(x.length == 0)

 

also make sure the list is actually empty, ya know?

How did I not think of that

Anyways too late now I just threw in a try statement

The logic is way easier that way anyways, I'd just spent like 15 minutes trying to save two lines

I'd have to rewrite 5 lines and add 5 more, which I don't feel like doing

I have explosions to implement
