Tried to make my first game in Unity by myself. Chose "Pong", thought it'd be a nice simple project for a beginner.

I couldn't do it. Had to look up an online tutorial to find out how. And my code wasn't even CLOSE to being right.

God damn it.

Unity is too complicated for pong. Learn a programming language and pick up a simple games API and go from there.

How far did you get on your own? What did you learn from the code that you read online? Are you going to take on another idea or just re-work Pong with a few twists to it so that you can cement what you've learned thus far?

Didn't you post a few days ago that you had just started learning this stuff? Have some patience, everyone starting out on something like coding is going to make tons of mistakes, they're nothing to be afraid of they are part of the learning process.

I don't know.

I tried to follow the tutorials, and that flopped.
So I tried to do it on my own, and that flopped.

I feel like anything I do will just end in failure.

I don't feel like I'm learning anything.

You almost don't seem like you want to, you need to change your mindset to discipline and dedication - life doesn't meet anyone halfway.

If you feel you have to figure everything out on your own, dont.

Problem solving skills are intregal to coding but at a beginner stage you should really absorb as much as you can and dont feel guilty. See how its done, do it yourself based on people who got it right, until you understand why it works.

Why do you ignore constructive criticism to respond to posts that seem like they're attacking you

Because what's the point in trying to learn when any problem I have is shot down with "you clearly don't want to learn"?

So one person made a rude comment and you think there's no point in doing anything?

It's never one person.
