A Question For Coders

[Crab_Spider]

Why is Dream Maker like a boyfriend that has absolutely no idea what you want him to do after you tell him to do something straightforward, and after you fix whatever errors you had in your command, he somehow forgets the instructions on how to do the last thing?

Basically what it's like with every coding language.

That's why I use Unity and not obscure 2000s era engines

I have yet to experience anything as frustrating with any other language.

I think the real issue is that Dream Maker and other programming languages do exactly what you tell them to do instead of what you intend them to do.

"Oh, you want a double closing bracket there? Fine. Watch this."

Oi. RPG maker 2004 is a good engine to make games!

RPG Maker MV is also great :c

I had an intro level coding class that described it like this:

If I tell you to go put on your socks, that's no problem. But if you wanted to tell a computer to put on it's socks, first you'd have to tell it what a sock was, then you'd need to tell it how to locate a matching pair and what to do if the sock it locates is not a valid sock, then how to put them on its feet in the first place.

Or if you told it to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you can't just tell it to make one. You need to tell it how to locate the bread, open the jar, get a knife use the knife to apply it to the bread, use the other piece of bread with the other condiment. Computers are very literal.

That's the way my teacher taught our "digital communications" class (pretty much a beginner level class for coding) algorithms.
