I always get overwhelmed

when I think about programming. So many languages to learn, so many programming books to read. So much I don’t know about programming. And there is also the question of do I want to spend the time I need to to become the programmer i want to?

I know I like video game, machine learning, and computer security; hacking. Can I even program a video game, can I make machine learning programs, can I hack websites.

Do I have enough time in my day to do all of those things everyday. Maybe not. What do I want to program the most? What will I get the most out of? What will I enjoy the most?

I try to do everything and then it seems that I never get anything done. If I think about it enough I will hopefully get an answer. I hope.

With programming its like a lot of things I do

I want to do everything. And when I try to do everything I get nothing done. I tried a lot of programming languages and never stuck with them.

As I have written before what is the point of learning to program and making no programs. I wanted to make programs that is why I am learning to program. Its been 14 years and I have not made my own program that anybody lies.

I have not even made my own program. I need to make a project. I want to make a program. Just to say that I made one. Not that i talk much. Who would I tell that i wrote a computer program. Probably no one.

But, I want to make a program. So that is what I am going to try to do. Enough English  writing its time for computer code writing.

I also want to learn about

machine learning and computer security.

I think making a computer program that can write songs would be fun. And there is also genetic programing. There is so much I have to learn about programming. So many exciting things.

I also want to put up a website. what that website will be about I don’t know. Or if I will ever get the website built I don’t know.

I get so excited about a lot of things. Then I realize that I have to put in the work to get good at the hobbies I want to get good at.

With programming

I think what if I had started making programs a long time ago when I got my first computer. I would be a lot further along with programming. I might be making my own programs by now.

It took me years of on and off use of blender to start making projects with that program. And now I want to program. So its time to make projects with python and pharo. I want to forget what could of been and start making projects.

I can’t think of any other

games that I had for the Atari 2600. I wonder what would have happened with those games if I had taken video gaming seriously. Could I have gone pro. I am sure not. I don’t think I ever tried to get good at a game like pacman.

I must have thought that there are people good at playing video games and I was not one of those people. I don’t know of a game I wish I had had for the Atari 2600.

I don’t know  very much about the games I played on the Atari 2600. I know almost nothing about any other games for the Atari 2600. Back then I never read a video game magazine, or watch a TV show about video games.

All I can remember from that time is I used to get up early in the morning on Saturdays to watch a fictional program about computers. I cant ever remember the name of the show. I can’t even remember much about the show. I just know it was about a computer.

Its is overwhelming

I think that I am never going to be able to write my own programs. There is so much about programming that I do not know. But, I have to try. I have to try. Its what I wanted to do long before I got a computer.

I have been trying to program for years and so I am going to program. I had fun trying to solve the exercises in how to design programs. I have not finished reading the book yet, but I know I did have fun reading it. Also working with Dr. scheme was fun.

So I know I like computer programming its just that I have not done much of it. I need a project. Instead of worrying I need to start programs. Just get it made. I am sure it will be fun.

Ever since I got a computer I have

wanted to make computer programs. But, I kept switching computer programming languages.

Then there were times I was fed up and never wanted to try to learn how to program a computer. I thought computers were boring and I wanted nothing to do with programming a computer.

I have written some of my own code but, not much of it. If I could think of coding like writing. I wanted to write songs, I wrote songs, I wanted to write fiction I wrote fiction.

I know I need to design a program before I write it. And maybe the design takes more time then the actual coding.

I know I am interested in coding computer games, machine learning, math. Now I just have to start. Even if I never write a program anyone uses at least I can say I wrote a program which as I write this now I cant say.

The program languages I want to write programs with are python, and pharo. I don’t think I will ever be a professional programmer but, at this point in my life I do want to program. So that is what I am going to do.

I read a few chapters of

The Art of Assembly Language programming. I don’t remember exactly how much of the book I read but, I do remember reading it.

I had wanted to read the book ever since I learned about High level assembly language. So one day I installed the software on my computer. Assembly language is so cool. I like learning about all the registers and the hardware of the computer.

But,  I never attempted to wrote my own program in high level assembly. And that is what I needed to do so I could remember what I read.

That is the problem the whole time I have been trying to program. I don’t make software. And to me that is the whole point of learning to program. And if I write a program then I will be able to know what I don’t know so I can get better as a programmer.

They only way to get better at designing and making games it to make a video game.

Stella: Atari 2600 emulator

At one time I had dreams of making an Atari 2600 game for Stella an Atari 2600 emulator. And that dream came to nothing.

i think I downloaded some documentation. I maybe read a page or two. And then promptly forgot about Stella. I read somewhere that there was a better possibility of selling a game if you made games for vintage. Something to that effect.

Sure that may or may not be true. I do know one thing for certain and that is the fact that I have not made any video games means that I can’t sell any video games that I made because I have never made a video game.

I do think it would be fun to make a game for the Atari 2600. So that I can say I made one. If I will ever make one I don’t know? I can always try.

So after the c/c++ compilers

as I remember it I went wild with installing compilers and interpreters on my computer. I thought I have to know how to write code in as many computer languages as possible.

Never mind that fact that I did not have all the time in the world to learn ever programming language that there was or is.

Oh, and never mind the fact that I had not learned even one programming language. I was fascinated about trying programming languages.

Now looking back on it I think what is the point of learning how to code hello world in as many programming languages as possible. What good is a programming language if you don’t know it good enough to make anything useful.

I needed a project. I needed to program something and make it better. I needed to make a game even a small terrible game just to get the experience of writing my own programs.

I don’t want to spend all my life reading books about programming and never knowing how to make any of my own programs.

Make things. Make things. Make things.
