Anyone here learning html?

You ever say to yourself, HEY! I can do that. It's not TOO hard, is it? So, you try it..
And yes, it was hard to do. Lets take editing HTML as an example. Not to hard at first. Some basic statements and structure, that are pretty obvious. Then it gets harder. If I had a human being teaching me, but no, I've got Claudius helping me. Its going as well as you would expect. Any human out there that cares to contribute to one of my projects?  The next one coming in the not to distant future is a MST3K star wars kind of thing. We'll see how THAT goes...

Crow: ..In a galaxy, far, far away...That we just so happen to have a film crew in...

Tom: What an amazing coincidence!

Joel: Shhhh... I paid $125 for a ticket from a scalper to see this.

Crow: ...It's a FREE show, Joel. Who was that scalper? He clearly ripped you off.

Tom: (whistling) 122...123...124...125. 125 bucks, yep, it's all there. what a sucker!

Crow: What is that girl doing with that robot? Is this some kind of robot-fetish flick? I hope so.

Tom: Looks like she's giving it a full service lubrication.

Crow: Sign me up!

What did you last get stuck on?

I don’t know what Claudius is or what you’re tryimg to do, but I might be able to answer questions.

I'm guessing Claudius is the AI assistant Claude.

Then we’ll likely need to recover some basics. But that’s okay.

I'm ashamed to say, I'm not grasping html of the associated codes that make it function. The heart of what i'm trying to do is a mystery to me. I'm an artist and I'm trying to do the whole job myself. Honestly, I'm not even a super ST fan,  it just seemed like a god idea at the time, to explain how ST works, and what all those buttons do. A cadet training at odd hours, and meeting the c-list crew. It just sounded interesting. Whats that weird dome thing on the ceiling of the bridge? Lets find out together. Lets answer al those questions, like where Chekov was.

$#!% I lost a week to problems on my side. Also, my draft response is gone. Let’s start over with a very simple question—

What are you using for an intro to HTML?

My favorite is W3Schools, but I didn’t start with that. That site tends to leave out explanations for complete beginners, and the pages can change without notice.

Another popular guide is from Mozilla, the makers of the Firefox browser (funded by Google).

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML

But Mozilla also skips needed info to cover advanced topics quickly.

Those two sites are meant to act as industry references more than basic instruction for personal projects.

Maybe freeCodeCamp is a better place to start.

Just watch out for the emphasis. The “**” in one of the first page examples isn’t anything but a suggestion of bolding that doesn’t really go in the code.

You’ll want to make sure you can create text on a browser page. Then color or a weblink. Then an image. Then sound. Then see what you can change by creating and linking to a cascading style sheet (CSS).

Only after that (which can take anywhere from a day to weeks depending on how open your learning mind is) do you want to go into the trickier parts for graphic heavy games.
