i wish when you google stuff like "how does slerp work" you could find something in between "call your engine's slerp() function!" and "here is a phd level math paper"
there's so many aspects of computer shit where there's a "missing middle" to documentation/tutorials and hoo boy do you run into a lot of it if you're teaching yourself game dev
every time I try to learn programming I get stuck somewhere in the gap between "a LOOP is when the computer does something more than once!" and "\xfc\xe8\x44\x00\x00\x00\x8b\x45\x3c\x8b\x7c\x05\x78\x01\xef\x8b"
i got wildly lucky learning when i was little
but in my first paid job in a language i knew nothing about i really enjoyed Why's Poiniant Guide to Ruby, it was silly and surreal and helped me wrap my head around the basics with concrete (ridiculous) examples
it might still be a little on the elementary side but it is fun, i think, either way and influenced how i look at programming - it should be fun and can be a form of expression
