@@LethalBlueStar I've just gotten monetized a couple of days ago! Thank you for the thoughtful comment :)

Thank you!

They're basically just a nice way to put a name on a number. In practice, when you have a variable of an enum type, it can have one of the predefined integer constant values associated with a name. In the godot inspector, you see all the names in a neat list that you can pick a single option from

@kartopod Thank you for the answer :-)

How would you describe your programming experience? Do you have fundamental understanding of the concepts of programming like functions, parameters, return types, classes, inheritance, etc? Are you comfortable with using loops and following logic sequentially? Often a lot of people fall into the trap of blitzing through tutorials and courses without actually gaining (or trying to gain) an understanding of these fundamentals, and that leads to a lot of frustration because anything they set out to do on their own, they don't know where to start at all. I sure fell into this trap myself for years. It was only when I realized this fact that I saw a huge improvement in my skill. Whenever I was doing online courses on udemy, I started running a 'Homework project', where I would delay it by a couple of lessons and try to catch up to the main project by attempting to do it on my own without help. This made me realize that half the time even when I thought i 'Understood' what the lessons were discussing conceptually, when it came to actually implementing it, i still haven't internalize the concepts. So I ended up attempting to do harder sections on my own 3 or 4 times, each time with less help from the course until I was able to do it on my own. I started to take it one step further by revisiting courses months later, and attempting to do the entire course project right from scratch once more, with taking as little help as possible. This is what really made me internalize the concepts, because when you just follow a course, you never learn the thought process behind the decisions that the course creator has taken. When you approach it with a fresh mind, you don't have the problems layed out in front of you. You have to do the leg work to identify tasks and think about HOW to approach them in the first place. I'm not saying that you absolutely have to take it as far as I did, but I would personally say that this exercise has helped me tremendously and would highly recommend it. Yes, it's going to 5 times longer to finish a single course. But i would say that you'd learn way more this way than mindlessly going through 5 whole courses. I say all of this in the context of courses that follow through with a fixed finished project, like 'Making an RTS game in in godot' or 'Making a Cooking game in Unity'. If you're doing courses like the CS50, which are more conceptual than with the goal of reaching a 'result', then I would try to apply each new concept you learn immediately. For example, if a course introduces how arrays work, try to think of practical applications of how you would use arrays. GPT is great for this. Rather than asking it to write code for you, I would use it as a way to brainstorm and lead your thought process. It is an excellent tool to learn from when you use it the right way. You could start with thinking about where you might use arrays practically, and if you hit a dead end, you could ask GPT for basic examples or exercises to practice the concept. This will also give you more ideas about how you can apply it in other ways. Think about how you can apply the fundamentals in small ways in mini projects. TLDR, when you have a good grasp on the fundamentals, it's easier to be able to approach problems on your own. I may have gone slightly off topic from your initial question, but I hope the last paragraph above answers it a little bit atleast, if not, let me know!

@@kartopod What l want eh? Heh, what a question. A question l always make to myself. Here, l forgot to write my comment on a note or language editor to save it. And wasted my time because KZbin doesn't save comments. What l mean to say is: Even in my university years, programming classes and database, i had 7-9 out of 10 grades. If l have a goal, my mind is solely focused on it. i made gas station using JavaFX and an app that lets you selectively choose which stopwords to delete or keep in Python GUI(basic stuff, not to look beautiful, just concept). Simple apps, just an example, because l had an objective there. I don't remember if l was scared during the task, but i found the way. But i feel like a ship with no captain and destination. If you have played Ace Combat 3, there is always a "DECIDE" voice line told by the AI voice, whenever you have a branching point to decide. It always stuck on my mind. You play as a nobody, an AI in a simulation there, but you get to decide what to do. Today, AI also decides just like humans do. Of course not 100%, but conceptually, they decide. And here I am, even worse than AI, i don't DECIDE. No goals, no solutions even when our best friend chatGPT or, the internet or just our mind, is enough to get us into a position that even an outsider can understand in a blink. Yes, i should have used GPT to give me ideas, give me tests, give me projects, give me quests. Anything really I have played so many games, my objectives are so clear there, I know what to do, I know what role should I follow. However, it isn't all games. Gaming too much or watching inapproriate content is a "smoke" to death to your soul and the surrounding people and environment. I feel like a parasite in this world if i am idle. But gaming too much or idling too much with these "cigarettes"(not actual, the ones with too much gaming and the 'other' content) makes me blind. Drunk even, i don't know what happened or even if I get to decide to move on from these destructive habits. I have played so many games but my idea of a game, i said it to 2-4 people. I didn't keep note, surely Discord keeps it but that's informal. I should write my idea in a note or like game design document. Notes, oh my best friend. Keeps me alive but at times, i am even shameful to share ideas or write notes to myself. Do i hate myself? Do i really want to make a game I wanted? An invisible war. I wanted to study a game design document, to learn how they thought of the game and i found Deus Ex 1. Never finished it, not even in page 2. What rough ideas I have from my foggy memory are there. A game like Thief 1 because of its actual 3D sound design, its stealth concepts coupled with other games like Hitman's disguise concept, Alpha's protocol choice and consequences, "From Earth" and Artificial academy 2's customization. Customization that can affect your gameplay. Being too short may help you hide places you couldn't but your max height jump is low. Being female(but may help elsewhere) and disguised in male clothing may not work unless you have the appropriate traits' customization. I think you get the point. Too many ideas in theory that, if not tested, may not work. And not only that, not all ideas or concepts I like, could be combined to make a pleasant experience. Even if I played enough games, it isn't enough. You got to dive in coding, trial and error(about game concepts) the ideas and see what it works. You see, in the end, I may know what is my status, how to solve it. But l do nothing, it is like, myself is a different person that I do not care but at the same time, I control him. Decide indeed, that's my objective. But l get frozen, whenever l try to code or think something, l get frozen despite how interesting the concepts can be. Even if l know the basics of programming, l feel l need to relearn them again. Why the "decide" is my favorite line? Because it reminds me of our lives and the way the Ai voice says it. Monotone but also with clear expression. You just got to do it. And just like in the game, you don't have the option not to decide, there is one but it leads back to the A decision since someone else does it for you. But all other times, you must decide if you want to move the story forward and the decisions can appear mid-mission, end mission, whatever the game has made. In the end, we must decide when presented a crossroad or a decision. It always need to be reminded, it is a truth. Did you know that in Greek Language "Truth" is "Αλήθεια" but that word has the "a" in it, in which it means the opposed of that. The actual word is "Λήθη",which means "erasing from memory, not remembering anymore".If you take opposite of that(Αληθεια) it means remembering it always, keeping in it your mind. How rich Greek is eh? Multiple meanings and literal. We must always have truth inside of us especially God and our actions and our situations
