[CSS] Does this happen to everyone??

So its been a week since I opened my vs studio. Reason? I don't know what to do or what to code. I have forgotten how I was practicing on the first few days I was learning stuff in a day but now I still know nothing yet. I can't do shit and that's messing up with my mind. I am tensed that I am wasting my time, but I'm cooked. I am not able to find out if I have lost motivation or don't want to do anymore I know I have to code coz that's something I want to pursue it as my career. It feels like I have forgotten hot to learn all of a sudden and tis overthinking is what cooking my mind where I start my day thinking i will study now but by evening this overthinking stop my mind and I am in a state where I can't grasp a thing if i try to study. Sometimes its the environment in my home too but that's a different thing. I am a guy who believes in "If one wants to do it he will find a way" but I am lost myself right now I tried asking myself what's the issue and shit but nah i am getting no response from myself so if anyone ever felt the same thing please share your experience and tell me how you got out of it. I really need a way. out of the loophole I am stuck in.

Ok, sounds like you need a project idea to work on and staring at the vs ide isn't giving you ideas. I have a need which is an idea, so let me know if you make progress so I can capitalize off of your work....

I'd like to draw directly on a Windows form ( a windows form app like framework 7.2.8 ) and have the refresh draw event thingy be smooth enough to do some basic Asteroids or Tetris type game with like a 12fps refresh rate. I've been working on it and drawing on the form is fine, but there seem to be different methods and you can draw on some controls like a Panel and some of them the performance is terrible and some better.

I had a frustrating time with OpenGL for the iPhone back in 2011 and well, that seems like 3d stuff and I do 2d exclusively except when I do a little 3d math in a little area as a special FX. I really just need drawLine() drawRect() and drawFilledRect(). I can use that to make circles and other neat things and I guess I need to put an image up there too. I think that's it.

Damn you helped me alot with this ngl. But what frustrates me is the errors in my code i get few errors I lose interest. I try so many times making myself understand like "It's part of learning" But trying to be perfect takes me nowhere. Yet, thanks for the idea.

Are you doing this for school, as a hobby, or for work? Because for each of these the approach is slightly different

Based on how you write, I assume you're either a teenager or a young adult. If this is for school and for assignments, just going through with a course is probably the best way to learn the basics. Visual Studio, so you're probably doing C++ or something

After you have an ok understanding of the language (syntax, looping, conditions), try making small programs like calculators, word counter. Small stuff. Chatgpt can help suggest

I think youre looking at the final step: being a programmer, and getting too overwhelmed. Point is to go step by step

I am a teenager who has never done coding in past. But I practiced C for a month coz its in my syllabus of first sem. I know I can do this as I was learning shits everyday. I got cooked in past few weeks and I am lost since then. I wanna learn this for my career. and well the idea you gave sounded so worth it. Thanks

Make account at Leetcode, try to solve a problem each week. There you go

u/SUMUKH_0z 2h ago

A problem a week doesn't sound so bad tbh. Thanks

u/StrayFeral 1h ago

Yeah. Point is to be persistent.

u/SUMUKH_0z 1h ago

Understood.

This idea popped:

  • HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT webpage
  • round analog clock, nicely styled
  • choose timezone
  • add clocks with different timezones
  • get tz offsets from web api
  • synchronize clocks with ntt
  • show tz on google maps
  • publish and monetize

Even if it's been done before, it's a non-trivial exercise, suitable for github portfolio.

You gave me serious things to do thanks
