Should I do CS50 and then The Odin Project or should I focus on one? Would doing both be better?
If you are feeling stuck with CS50, try Codédex btw: https://www.codedex.io

I was rejected by Codecademy 3 times, so I built my own
I worked at Codecademy - you're right the getting stuck part hurts people moving forward, we spent a lot of time trying to help people without outright spitting it out - it was less about runtime errors and more about the concept. I'm not sure that an AI spitting out an answer is the right solution to help people learn - we also thought about different forms (projects, embeds in articles, tutors, etc)
Another Codecademy alumn is building a different learn to code platform - he wrote many courses and was always interested in teaching and providing resources.

All in all, they problems were learning and education problems rather than technical.

Year One Complete đȘ
One year ago today, I quit my cushy tech job to pursue building a learn to code startup full-time (CodĂ©dex). Itâs been the toughest but by far the most fun and rewarding year of my career.

What language should I teach my little sister
I would start with Python or HTML because they are useful and beginner friendly. She might like a fun and aesthetic atmosphere to code in too like https://www.codedex.io. Much luck and love!

Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?
I've built a few games with my son over the years. The fun part for us was all about fast iteration, and then laughing at the bugs together.
There are some other recommendations here for how to approach 3d, and he is specifically asking for 3d -- but I want to put in one more pitch for 2d: the fun-to-tedium ratio can be much higher.
I wonder if you could spend some time prototyping some of his ideas in LĂVE https://love2d.org/ -- if you show him the smallest sketch of something working, he might have an idea about what to add next.
Many years ago, on a flight, we went from 0 to game before we landed (with no experience).

Show HN: A variant of Conway's Game of Life in color you can run on your phone
* When a cell is born it randomly takes on the color of one of its (3) parents.
To try it out:
1. Install LĂVE for your device from https://love2d.org (~5MB and open source). (iOS requires building from source on a Mac, or installing the third-party Love2D Studio: https://love2d-studio.marknoteapp.com)
2. Install my Lua Carousel from https://akkartik.itch.io/carousel (~100KB). It includes all its source code and can be edited live on a computer as it runs.
3. Copy the ~100 lines of code from the bottom of https://akkartik.itch.io/carousel/devlog/651711/new-version-after-9-days and paste them into Lua Carousel.

Gearing up for Lua
Probably the most important piece of software we'll be playing around with is a game engine called LĂVE. Lua is well known around developer circles as being a good scripting language when it comes to making games, and this engine is one of the more popular. I'll be going through installation at the end of this post.

Can't make my mind about which engine to use
libGDX is great, but I can understand if it's not for some people. This also applies to love2d, raylib and Monogame

How Do I Compile/Install Love 0.10.2 on Linux?
You don't need to use git if you don't want to. Try downloading the 0.10.2 source directly here (the file you want is love-0.10.2-linux-src.tar.gz); I see you've tried this already but try again just to see what happens. Extract it to a directory (e.g. love-0.10.2-linux-src) and then run:

I want to make a game but I'm scared...
love2d (lua) is a productive, fun, good docs, and most importantly proven / field-tested 2d game library, with easy to learn fast to compile and fast to run language - lua. while lua might not have a lot of features as python, the big bonus is that its much more focused language, which is important because otherwise you can get easily distracted on bells and whistles that other programming languages provide, i know that from experience
