I guess that's true. I started with computer programming type things like HTML, then moved to Java and C++ briefly, leafed through TI-Basic for a bit, and settled on Axe. But yeah, the hardest part about Axe is getting started...

So far, my brother barely understand the concept of storing data and utilizing it, so teaching him about pointer will be kinda hard for him. But I'll make sure he programs axe one day XD

If you want to learn BASIC, make homescreen Blackjack. It is fairly easy and very fun.

You have to learn about pointers and such. Otherwise, new syntax for more complex commands is fairly straightforward.

I chose reflex since those types of games are better at teaching syntax in less code, whereas the others have a lot of data you have to trawl through to get started for testing a program.

Because the number one all time best way to learn how to program is to figure stuff out yourself. A couple months ago, I was in a rut, because I couldn't think of any axe projects I could code at my current skill level (at the time). So, I made a platform game. It sucked. Some of you are familiar with it, Spacky Emprise. But I have increased exponentially since that point, because I've made more games, and figured more stuff out. That's what programming is all about - figuring stuff out.

Figuring stuff out, huh?
Ok! I will cancel my game right now, study Axe all by myself, and make it in Axe!
Sorry, but my first ever game will have to be delayed

Were you making it in BASIC before? Luckily, a lot of the design concepts should transfer over fairly easily.

but unfair unless you have a deck list, which makes it a lot harder.

I made dice blackjack. It took me less than half an hour, it was a nice exercise.
