Being a code wizard is useful no matter what you do in life, but it’s super useful if you want to be involved in making games! I do a lot of design and art and things like that.. but I can’t program, and I know I could be much more useful if I knew even the basics!

Also, I’d love to be able to make little games by myself sometime!

So here is the plan!

get your robes of learning ready!

I’ll be learning C#/JavaScript* and familiarizing myself with Unity3D.

Almost every day I’ll be using our studio’s Twitch channel while I learn, so that anyone can learn along with me. Calvin (husband/programmer for RLK) will help if needed!

I’ll be using free tools only, so anyone can learn along with me, no excuses!

Here’s what you do:

get a free copy of Unity3D

and a free account at codecademy.com

Follow our Twitter and Twitch to stay in the loop about all the things!

I’ll livestream at night during the week (eastern time), and mid day on weekends

After the stream I’ll post the videos on our Youtube page

On this blog, I’ll post each video along with a summary of what I learned.

We can all discuss and ask/help each other(both live on Twitch, and in the blog comments) as we go!

(TL;DR: Follow on Twitch, Twitter, and this blog, and learn C# and Java along with me!)

BAM! Lets all be programmers!!

No idea how this will go, but thanks for stopping by!

*I want to learn C#, and Code Academy doesn’t do that, but it does Java, which shares a lot of the language, so I’ll be going to Unity and using C# there, testing out the lessons from Code Academy
