Hello DarkOrbit community,

I am an 18 years old, first year Computer Science student.Started my lectures on September.I am getting really interested in programming since I have already started learning about the fundamentals in general but also in C++.Right now the only experience that I have is taking programms in pseudocode and convert them in C++ .(Using VS 17)

With those informations about me being given,I would like someone to give me some informations on how can I get started creating my own tool/bot.
I would like to start with a really simple tool like a feature to see the aliens hp and shield or something like that and one day come to eventually fulfill my ambition on creating my own pixelbot.
So, where do I start?

-What programming language should I start learning and practicing ?

-In what platform do I code ?( I dont know if I a platform is the correct word but I mean , where do I write my code in order to compile it into a programm ?

-Any guides about such tools that you know and would like to share with me ?

-Any other tips ?

Thank you in advance!

Zetadarus made a nice tutorial to get started on making your own bot. going though that might be helpful.

C++ is fine if you're learning it already.
Visual Studio.
C++ Primer
Learning by doing. But don't try to do stuff you're not able to do yet.

^this so much
Try to start with a simple project where you are sure that you can do it. I can guarantee you that you'll face problems you didn't even think about.
Also learn clean code/coding patters etc. on the way. It'll help you a lot in bigger projects.

Might help with finding the hp/shield

for base better aim for the as long as it works goal. once you advance you can start with stuff like paterns and stuff.

Good luck for your learning! I started learning programming like 2 years ago when I was 13 years old, now I learned a lot of problem solving and algorithmisation.
