Code Play Repeat: How to learn any Programming Language
summary
A concrete method: find a simple 2D game repository on GitHub in the target language (examples cited: C, Go, Javascript, Clojure), start by swap images first to understand assets, then inspect and edit the update_player_position logic to change movement functions — add a y axis, new items and add boundaries and items — iterate small changes, consult docs only for specific problems. Applied in Clojure under 24 hours to turn a cow game into a Pac‑Man–style demo that runs; learning grounded in the 70/20/10 model.
