Hi guys, I've just started seriously learning Java. Currently

WTF is wrong with you?

>>56125913
What's wrong with Java? I want to create apps for those Googlebucks to supplement my mediocre income.

And for something to do in my free time at work.

Try Project Euler, it's mostly math problems and it starts easy and works up. You can do them in whatever language you want, it just tells you if you got the answer right.

Or if you're looking for bigger projects, I dunno, maybe look through the source of your favourite open-source Android app. (I haven't done this, don't know if it's worthwhile or just full of useless boilerplate.)

Hmm. Looked at Euler. Looks promising. Is there a site that has problems or tasks that are less abstract? I can probably do this for most of the first page but after that it seems like an uphill battle on my end.....

>>56126152
Doing both though. Just to see how far I can get.

Apart from what anon suggested above, my recommendation is to try building some simple games from scratch like pong, a text based adventure, or something similar.
If nothing else they can keep you interested.

Hmmm. That's my plan but at what level of learning is creating something as simple as Pong feasible? I just started to code 3 days ago. Based off books and mooci tutorial. Still on week 1 and trying to do all the exercises without looking back and based off memory. At what point in my knowledge is it feasible to create a game like pong?

Or is it something that I should just try to look up the source code for and copy by typing it out and seeing if I understand what each line of code is for?

I taught a friend to make pong in pygame with no experience in a couple hours. Pong is stupid simple.

Pick a goal and start working on it, look up something when you don't know and REMEMBER the answer to use in the future. It will be easier to retain something when you can specifically see what it is doing in your project
