About 3 or 4 months ago I started working on it again and got quite a lot of stuff done, but recently (last month or so) my motivation for it has been going down so much that I literally haven't scripted anything in weeks. I'm not sure what's causing this motivational drop; college? Not really. No free time? No. Going off SA-MP/GTA? Never! Going off scripting? Possibly. I want to go in to a game programmer career and am actually enrolled on a Software Engineering college course next year, and I still want to do it. I think one of my problems is trying to be better than I am. When I'm writing a script I'm constantly thinking about how it'll turn out, if it's efficient, if i'll be able to come back to it in 5 months and know what the code does etc. and all of these things seem to conflict with eachother. If I made it easily editable/readable, it's less efficient. For example, ******. With all due respect (I have a lot of respect for ******), I can barely read a single line of YSI and understand, without hours of analysis and confusion, what it does. Is it me that isn't good enough to read it, or does ****** over-complicate things? I've always thought he over-complicates things, but then again programming can be very complicated. Am I cut out for this? Here's what I'm talking about (Assuming ****** wrote this..) pawn Код: new slot = playerid / _FIXES_ATTACHMENTS, shift = playerid % _FIXES_ATTACHMENTS * MAX_PLAYER_ATTACHED_OBJECTS; FIXES_gsObjectSlots[slot] &= ~((1 << MAX_PLAYER_ATTACHED_OBJECTS) - 1 << shift);             FIXES_gsObjectSlots[playerid / _FIXES_ATTACHMENTS] &= ~((1 << MAX_PLAYER_ATTACHED_OBJECTS) - 1 << playerid % _FIXES_ATTACHMENTS * MAX_PLAYER_ATTACHED_OBJECTS);                         PutPlayerInVehicle(playerid, FIXES_gsVehicleSeatData[playerid] & 0x00FFFFFF, FIXES_gsVehicleSeatData[playerid] >>> 24);                         FIXES_gsPlayerBools[playerid] &= ~e_FIXES_BOOLS_PUT_IN_VEHICLE; To be honest most of the stuff I can't read is simply because I haven't learnt that fully, such as bit shifting. It seems really confusing to me, but so did everything programming related back in '07! I also have a pretty low attention span and am very impatient - not something you want to be if programming! Another thing I forgot to mention. As I mentioned I want to be a games programmer, I think I view SA-MP as more of a game engine than what it is. Here's a quote from Kye: I expect too much from SA-MP. I'm constantly annoyed that x feature doesn't exist and y feature is a little bit buggy and I have to spend 15 minutes making a workaround. Perhaps I should download a free game engine and start learning C++? BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I still really enjoy playing SA-MP, and generally enjoy scripting (I think one of the main things that helps you be a good programmer is if you ENJOY it) but it just seems to be MYSELF which is the problem. Things are okay in life right now (I'm at college) so I don't know what's up D: Someone recommended that I take a break of a month or so, but to be honest I've been doing that forever. Someone tell me something positive <3

What the fuk.. I'm serious you have posted exactly what I'm having.. I'm making a cnr low motivation want to be a game programmer etc you litrally quoted what I think
