ovER I used my Concerta pills to learn how to code in pure C but now I don't know what to code and any project I take I have to follow a tutorial on. Tried to make Tetris and couldn't figure it out with a tutorial's guidance lmao this is ridiculous. Maybe it wasn't ADHD I'm just too dumb to get it at the moment. "My" NES emulator is finally running but I barely understand half of it. Should've ran with CHIP-8 tbh. How the hell do I actually develop the skills to code consistently I hate my life

It'd probably help if you had anything you actually wanted to code for yourself. Something I enjoyed doing for a while was coding hacks for various games, I'd upload it on a forum (MPGH) and have hundreds of people thank me for each upload which was nice. Altogether around a million people downloaded my programs over the last decade. You could always try that, the social validation might push you to code more.

That is my goal actually but RE/hacking is complicated so I want to take it slow. My goal is fan translations of at least one game on every console I owned (pc/ps1/PS2/etc) into Arabic. That means making my own tables and changing scrolling direction and all sorts of things. Was into hacking as a kid but don't do it as much desu. There are already people translating games to Arabic and they make it seem easy but I want in on it tbh. My first attempt was SubaHibi

Right now I just want to make a clone of Ragnarok Online on Godot. I got the basics running but never make any progress lul
