I want to start programming with Gödel language
I don’t know anything about computer programming.
So here I need help please explain to me how computers work. I found this language called gödel, but is this the language i can create a game with? And I do want to know where can I go to learn programming. |

where did you find this programming language did it not state what it was used for? oh it was actually, It is named after logician Kurt Gödel. someone by your same name, and you know nothing about it, that too is queer. not to try and sound too snobbish but here is a write up on someone by your strangely enough same user name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B...mming_language) and https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/g%C3%...mming-language a little reading up on your user name might provide you with some useful information. |
based on this site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B...mming_language) the language first appeared in 1992 and based on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_G%C3%B6del you had already died, so there is no way to use that language....

It says like this : Gödel is a declarative, general-purpose programming language that adheres to the logic programming paradigm. It is a strongly typed language, the type system being based on many-sorted logic with parametric polymorphism.
I mean,what is this? What can I learn from this? where do I even start? |
And iI go into the declarative link, i find this
In computer science, declarative programming is a programming paradigm—a style of building the structure and elements of computer programs—that expresses the logic of a computation without describing its control flow.[1] Many languages that apply this style attempt to minimize or eliminate side effects by describing what the program must accomplish in terms of the problem domain, rather than describe how to accomplish it as a sequence of the programming language primitives[2] (the how being left up to the language's implementation). This is in contrast with imperative programming, which implements algorithms in explicit steps. Declarative programming often considers programs as theories of a formal logic, and computations as deductions in that logic space. Declarative programming may greatly simplify writing parallel programs.[3] Common declarative languages include those of database query languages (e.g., SQL, XQuery), regular expressions, logic programming, functional programming, and configuration management systems. |
And I don’t understand what you mean by “programming for games is not a good place to start”

make paddles to hit the ball, do the graphics to show little people holding the paddles and make them interact between the two? etc.. OOP's is what you'd need/may need to learn or you could use BASIC with the ... well ... goto peek and poke statements and such show me how to write a proper main function in C and C# and Java and C++ being all programming languages one could write a game with. |

As stated you can probably write some type of game in almost any language but using gödel even if you could learn or actually use it would not be practical. You should start with one of the more common languages in use today.
This might give you some ideas on learning how to code. https://blog.ted.com/10-places-where...learn-to-code/ Writing about how computers work in this thread/forum would take way to much time/space. You can find many sites that explain the basics but you could also go to your local library or bookstore and find many books to read. |
Why don't you try programming in Python which is included in most distros?
I'd recommend Python Programming (Third Edition) for absolute beginners which teaches you the language by coding simple games, one per chapter, from text games up to graphic stuff. I'm basically a hardware guy but found this useful on the few occasions I've needed to write something. Hope it helps! :) Play Bonny! :hattip: |
exactly, at least pick a language that is still being used today. Of course you're going to need to change your user name. :D

Kurt Gödel might be a common Austrian name?
Have you considered learning Eiffel? <joke> It's still a going concern, despite Gustave being long dead. |
I don't know about the Gödel programming language, but you can write games with the Python programming language. The web page below includes names of some free, Creative Commons-licensed books on Python for complete beginners with no programming experience.

If you want to start programming, you must have something in mind that you need to program or create. Hopefully something ethical, :). OOP - Object Oriented Programming. One thing you should consider when picking a PL (programming language). Make sure it is widely supported, you can easily ask for help or find resources on the net. Since you are in a Linux forum, you can go for Java, C, or C++. To be honest it depends on how determine you are to learn programming. Programming sucks sometimes if not most of the time, a single semi-colon if omitted can ruin your day if not weeks. :) Check out links below it might help: http://www.programmingbasics.org/en/ https://skillcrush.com/2016/03/15/64...code-for-free/ |
