I have some questions. First of all, is coding and programming the same thing?
Are they hard to do?
I'm 13, 14 in a month. So I might want to learn now.
Thanks for any help.

It depends, mostly what programming language you are writing, how experienced you are with the language, whether you learn quickly or not, and if you have the motivation to code. I find it harder to draw the object im animating (like a person) than it is to actually animate them.

Yea,I'd also find it hard to draw it most likely.

I agree with Annihalation, I also find it more time consuming to create graphics than it is to program to make the graphics do what you want.

Graphics take too much creativity and drawing over and over again, to improve doesn't help that much.

I find programing much easier you just sit down and do it and look up new stuff when you need it. I don't really mind the math.

lol @ double posting.

using gamemaker might save some difficulty, however this doesn't really count as programming - only if you wrote every line yourself.

its much harder than spelling. if you cant even do that, your hope is lost in the programming field.

Judging by your spelling I don't believe you.

It really matters how advanced you get into programming. If you start getting into more complicated things you will need advanced math and knowledge of other computer related things.

I used to edit the code in Crush the Castle so I guess I have a tid-bit experience.....

I'm pretty good at math, and plus my uncle is a computer nerd, so he'll help me. I know a few good things on the computer myself.
