Online video tutorials request.

If you have any questions on programming, this is the place to ask them, whether you're a newbie or an experienced programmer. Discussion on programming in general is also welcome. We will help you with programming homework, but we will not do your work for you! Any porting requests must be made in Developmental Ideas.

"The problem that I have with your posts is that we've all suggested very similar things throughout this entire thread. We've all suggested mastering C before you attempt anything Dreamcast related & we've even gone so far as too suggest exact resources to help you out there... You've seemed to ignore that advice throughout. You seem to be looking for a shortcut that doesn't exist."
How do you suggest that I go about "mastering C"? I'm all about learning. I guess I'm looking for where I should go to start the practice of "mastering C". Where are the exact resources? Could you please post a link and this time I promise that I won't just assume that I already know it.

You fundamentally misunderstand what programming is about..
The difference between your classes and actual programming is that you get no instructions anymore. Nobody tells you what to program.

I already gave you a task. I don't tell you how to do it and I won't give you a link that tells you how to. You will have to open your code editor, create a new file, write "#include <stdio.h> int main() {}" and figure out what to write between those curly braces yourself.
When you stumble upon problems, you don't ask us, but google for information and books that might help you. If you're going to ask another programmer, they will first ask you "what did you try?". When they realize you didn't try anything, they'll give you the same reaction as us. That's because you only become a (better) programmer by figuring this out yourself. That's what a programmer does every day. We also don't know how to do everything, but we know how to find out.
If you're unwilling to try working on the task I gave you, you should ask yourself why that is. Because that's what's holding you back from becoming a programmer.
