I want to code my own game and not using warcraft cause it has limitations...


I am planning to start on Unity..

But damn my course is TEACHER! not Computer Related course!..

So what can you suggest do i stop my dream on coding my own game and just stick to warcraft or i have a good chance and pursue my dream?..

Well sure you can but if you've never programmed before i'd suggest you start out a little bit simpler and just play with numbers and go more complex from there. Unity is a pretty good choice if you just start out though because they have a lot of tutorials but that doesn't make it easy per se, you are going to have to spend some time to get the hang of it and really understand what you are doing. I would first try to work towards making something functional using place-holder squares and such.

And if you don't like using the internet to learn you could always buy programming books and such.

Why stop? Just do what you want to do, if you stop doing things, you end up not doing anything, I've been there too.
 
why stop? do what you want bro... your course is really just for your starting point in life, your skills and experience are what matters the most...

For example, I'm a chemical engineering graduate but I'm working on the IT department and as a hobby am trying to make games and creating apps that are simple but helpful in everyday life... and we have many people here that are from unrelated college degrees too, like some people from supply chain planning are chemical engineers... some IT business analysts are accountants or economists...

I think you should pursue your dream. You lack of programming skills shouldn't stop you. After all, this skill can be developed over time.

I guess what really matters most is how badly you want to create your game, even if it takes years before you can develop it.
