How do I go about this? Are there any free resources that’ll help me get started?

I see people advising to start with a small project, but you need to get some basics down right? What language? How to develop it and stuff?

My only experience is some very basic C programming classes I took during school.

My journey went codecademy -> codingame -> quitting my job and going to university -> first job

I went to University to get more problems to solve after grinding codingame and decided to overkill them and had fun while doing it. I remember Mars lander, it was really hard, hahaha.

Yeah that sounds like a good path!

I used to love advanced math, physics and game coding, so I've revisited the 'Landers several times over the years (a day here and there in the middle of life/emigrating/careers).

If you also Google for solutions to the 'Landers you'll find people have done hardcore analysis and genetic algorithms!

(cough like this)

Next mission: somehow hack UE5 into CodinGame and let it sort it out.
