Teaching a Noob To Code...

hey guys, I have recently gotten into modding for Openspades, and while fun, I feel as if i need to do more to move this thing forward.

So I wanna learn how to code.

Not anything crazy, but I just want people to point me into general directions, and give me tips etc.

I just wanna update the In-game menu, the animations, and maybe add a few guns and utilities.

Could someone please please point me in the direction for me to actually learn this?

Best Regards, Arkger.

Coding is highly complicated, you're not going to be able to learn the very basics of coding by asking on a forum, you should search the net for C/C++ with OpenGL/AL tutorials, it may take you a while (a very long while), but once you got it in your head it's well worth it, also, sometimes you can't find the details of everything, after getting as much information as you can from there, maybe get a C/C++ with/or OpenGL/AL books, they have much more detail.

either you teach it yourself (Optionally with a little help) or you won't learn it at all.

btw, yvt (os's main coder) is working on revamping the ui / making it scripted, so i wouldnt touch the UI just yet.
if you want to discuss OS related stuff, #Openspades @ irc.quakenet.org

Seems legit. I'll be on there to talk to you guys, ad I'm already looking at C++ stuff anf whatnot. I already can code java, so OpenGL is somewhat easy for me, not too easy though, you'll have to give me some time.
