First, obligatory apology if I didn't search around hard enough, but that's kind of the point. I don't have enough of a basic education on creating and using a fandom wiki, forums, coding, etc. Over the last couple of weeks, I've been slogging through coding by just looking at what source code works on one page and then coping and pasting that over to the page I'm creating or editing. (EG, is it possible to create a pop-up "check this box if you're over 18" doodad?)

I'm also taking drawing classes and my goal over the next several months is to create or begin to create visual-novel/text-based game, but I also want to have a DIY education for getting a low level game out there, including support like a wiki. All without dropping a ton on tuition money. I've been surprised to find out that coding based jobs can often basically be about professional puzzle making and solving. When I put it to myself that way, Office Space is not the first thing I think of!

Tips? Things to expect and look out for? Specific tutorials that you can point to? How to avoid becoming a cave troll living in front of a computer?

Thanks!
