New to scripting
#1

Hello, I've been playing samp for about 2 years from now and I've tried many RP, CNR and other gamemode servers. I do have enjoyed most of them but gradually it would lose playerbase or went off, so now I'm currently thinking to learn coding. As I'm new to all this, I need your suggestions on how should I start? Should i first learn C programing or pawn or anything..


Thank you

The best learning languages in my opinion are: Python, Vb.net or learning web languages (HTML/CSS/PHP/JavaScript). However, once you've learned once language it will be easier to learn others. Although languages like python and vb.net are good to learn, they're not very good for industry work, if thats what you're thinking of doing. But don't let that deter you from learning them as it will make your life a lot easier when you go onto learn something like C++, C# or Java.

Also, remember that you're going to make mistakes and don't be afraid to do this. Also ask for help where you need it, instead of giving up.

I first started with pawno and it literally made me get addicted to other programming languages, like C# and C++. Give Pawno a try as it's an easier language than other ones.

Hey,

It is necessary to be noted that the language is called Pawn, not pawno. Pawno is just an editor designed for the language.

Pawn, while not often used for scripting, has numerous similarities (both syntax and semantics-wise) to other languages that are more common. Pawn has a C-like syntax.

Speaking from personal experience, Pawn is a good language to move on to other languages from. Many modern higher-level languages such as Javascript or Python hide the "internals" of the operations from the programmer. Therefore a learning programmer is less prone to understanding how programs work on the low level.

Moreover, a lot of programming logic is common between many programming languages, therefore at one point, learning the specifics of the syntax of another library will become an easy task.

PAWN is much easier to learn than C++, and is also great to learn before learning C++ as PAWN has significant similarities to C++.

TDM would probably be easier.
