Description
I’m going to first apologize for this admittedly annoying post, since I know the people of Derpibooru hate having these annoying text posts pop up. Believe me when I tell you that I’ve tried to solve this on my own. However, this is my last resort.
Lately, I’ve been reading up on coding and programming in general. It’s difficult to understand, but I think I’m getting somewhere. I’ve decided to work on a project: creating a generator that, when used, will generate a random My Little Pony shipping. I know we have the Ponyville Shipyard for that, but it hasn’t been updated in ages and therefore is missing many characters. Problem is, I have no idea where to start, what I should start with, etc.
Anyone have any information to set me in the right direction?

Thanks.
Well, if you’re going to learn Javascript, you could also try learning Java afterwards. It’s essentially the same grammar and such, just not for building webpages. Of course, for what you want to do here it’s not strictly necessary, but it would be one way to introduce yourself into the world of programming.
No? I always thought of Pascal as one of the more obscure languages. AFAIK the C family is the most popular. Straight C for kernels and lower-level programs, C____ and C# and such for higher-level and more complex ones.
…but then, what do I know.
Yea, i know how you feel…lol XD
Sorry, I’m not good at explaining things! Using human language is much harder than machine language.
yea i know its a language…but the way you said made me though that mostly of programs used a single language and since pascal is the most know one i though it was that…
well tks for solving it though
A language is just that, a language. A program is written in a programming language the same way a conversation is written in a human language. Pascal is just one language among hundreds.
Alright, thanks.
I recommend trying out Javascript, you’ll need a basic knowledge of HTML too but I swear that’s ultra-simple. Here, try this tutorial. This would let you open up the program on any web browser, with no need for compilations or stuff like that, and you could even program on notepad or something if you didn’t want to install anything
Sorry. Wish I could help.
i though each program used a sighly modified language so they wasnt the same…so mostly of them use pascal for programming then?
See, it seems like it should be extremely simple, yet since I’m just starting off I don’t know how to do it. I suppose through trial error, I’ll figure it out.
It’s fine. I don’t use one program in specific since I’m just starting out; trying to learn the ups and downs of the more popular programs.
You could even use Javascript to make it part of a webpage. Just make a huge array with pony names, generate two random numbers and pick ponies from the arrays with the numbers.
And also since i dont have any experience in flash i cant help at all….BUT this site might have something that maybe can help you out if its really flash…sry for not being more helpfull at all
shrug
I try my best.
At lest you gave us a pony image too.
