So finally started on the Love tutorials by Sheepolution, I think it's their YouTube channel: How to LÖVE - YouTube. Followed the playlist up to ep 13. Which was just getting the hang of the framework, and some Lua basics (again, I think I should have just done this 7 days ago instead). Some of the topics I understood, even second-guessed some of the stuff he was going to do. But then I realised I got cocky as issues with understanding 'for' loops and the rest of the tutorials. I don't know if it was as he went too fast or just not simplifying enough for me to understand, or due to lack of I don't know what am doing so I don't know how to apply it practically. So what I think am gonna do from now on is just follow a couple of tutorials aka copying and hope it sinks in, with a just-doing attitude. If not I'll just have to offer a sacrificial burrito to the programming God's.

It seems like the first game is pong, which I think I have a basic idea of what needs to be done, but am sure I'll trip up on making the scoreboard., although I have a sneaky suspicion that to increase the score is going need a for loop lol. Let's see how it goes in the morrow.
