How does this make you more prepared to learn more about the programming language of Game design? Well for me I guess is to understand even more about the reason behind things. It also seems that this makes you more aware of what others are doing. It's also like when you were younger (I don't know if people did this or not but) and yours friends/family has like this secret language and yeah that;s how I see it.
To be more better as I said I would have more practice in the cartoon like "games" for coding or maybe like a website or something. But If I don't get enough process in the thing I did in the Hour of Code then what I would do is I guess research. Another than research is reading, looking for other people who know well enough to tutor maybe, And for me sometimes I just have to teach myself how to be prepared. Really this was amazing and don't worry I will practice on my own to be prepared for future references.
