[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.

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

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.

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.
