  • It absolutely is a feature of being a beginner but it is not an issue; it is not a bug.

    How many hours total have you been programming for in your life?

    Any skill takes hundreds if not thousands of hours of practice to become adept, and tens of thousands to reach mastery.

    You’re at the beginning of your journey. It’s completely normal to not have internalised everything you’ve covered so far.

    Keep going. That’s all you need to do. Keep practicing. Keep typing. Keep googling. Keep reading. You. Will. Get. Better.




  • Strange Horticulture -You run an occult plant shop and identify plants by leafing through a botanical guidebook, matching illustrations and descriptions.

    HighFleet - Intercepting enemy radio transmissions means using the in-game codebook and manual tables to decode messages and triangulate positions.

    The Signal State - A Zachlike about repairing farm equipment with modular synth racks and lots of documentation.

    Retro Gadgets - You build electronic gadgets from scratch, and reading the chip documentation is basically the whole game.

    Sethian - You learn a dead alien language by studying an in-game dictionary/manual to converse with a computer.

    Carrier Command 2 - Co-op crewing a carrier where the in-game manual is dense and necessary, giving strong Tin Can/submarine-crew vibes.

    Objects in Space - Space sim, flying a submarine-like ship, reading dials and signals.

    Jalopy - Roadtrip / car maintenance game set in Eastern Bloc.

    Reentry - Crazy realistic space sim where you follow manuals, procedures, checklists etc to complete missions like the Apollo moon landing.
