No way, I just saw this morning that Harvard has a free online course in game development, and it's available now. You should take a look and see if it interests you :)! You can do it from home.

By the way, I also suffer from depression and I know how hard it is. I hope in the dark times you can find some compassion for yourself. I know for me, making it through the day sometimes is an accomplishment in and of itself. Try to see if you can practice not calling yourself a loser even when you feel like it. You are not a loser, you may be struggling right now, but if you saw a friend going through what you're going through, would you call them a loser? Probably not. I try to replace those thoughts with "today, I'm not feeling like I'm where I want to be, but I'm doing the best I can, and that's enough."
Anyway, wishing you well and I hope you can find some peace.
Free until September 15th! Get your learning in now
Doesn't that one require or at least recommend that you have prior knowledge of code language and that you have gone the previous cores?
Or am I miss reading? or is it exaggerating what knowledge you need?
Personally, I'm trying anyway because hey free course.
It says prior programming experience or you can also take their entry level computer science course which is also free: https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-harvardx-cs50x
It says nearly 5 million people have enrolled in that comp sci course so it must be a pretty good one.
By the way, many colleges do this, so it wouldn't hurt to shop around as well. I know Yale for one has quite a few free courses.
Nice to see that the entry level one is also free, and I didn't know that about collages. I will definitely keep an eye on out.
