So i have autsim and dyslexia, also depression and i just feel like a loser who cant do anyhting im trying not to think that way but its hard. i also spend most of my time indoor becasue i dont like going outdoors plus its hot out there.

Ive been wanting to make games or something like that but i litteraly cant code or understand it and ive been reserching game dev for mouths, i also feel like im very limited, like for example my pc is low end or tha tim too scared to drive and idk how to. I just want to do somet hign creative that i can show with others wihtout having to go outside. im kinda nerd but not a very smart one, so theres that.

why must life be soo hard and sad?

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.
