Highly recommend bookmarking https://ohshitgit.com, it’ll steer you right 👍

For future reference if you tag the Lemmy community in a reply instead of the top-level toot it won’t do this 😄

Same! I had to pick up C# instead and not particularly happy about it. But PHP my sweet, I’ll always love you for personal projects.

I said what I said!

Having worked with all kinds of languages, I stand by my belief that PHP is the most fun.

Yeah maybe it lets you do some things it probably shouldn’t. Yeah maybe the naming conventions are wild. But it also encourages creativity and experimentation in a way that stricter languages just don’t.

Yes I am willing to die on this hill.

Not to be harsh, but you’ve asked this question a few times in different ways over the last few weeks. My suggestion and advice is, download Godot and find a tutorial and give it a try. You can’t find out whether you’ll enjoy something by reading about it, only by doing it.

Stage 2: necro a two year old post as a form of procrastination

As a hobbyist game dev, can confirm I am basically just splashing around cluelessly making a mess.

I still code with PHP.

Come at me.

If you understand the code and are able to adapt it to for your needs it’s no different to copy pasting from other sources, imo. It’s just a time saver.

If you get to the point where you’re blindly trusting it with no ability to understand what it’s doing, then you have a problem. But that applied to Stack Overflow too.
