While you follow along with this course, you might run into trouble and some things don't seem to work

out, even if you pay close attention and try to follow along step by step, it can easily happen that

you missed a small thing that ends up breaking your game.

But sometimes there are also pre-existing issues with your PC or your Unreal Engine installation that

can lead to issues that are hard to debug as a game developer or programmer.

Debugging and figuring out these issues by yourself is an extremely important skill to have.

So if something goes wrong, I do believe it's best that you try to figure it out by yourself at first

before asking somebody for help right away.

You can rewatch the video to double check that you didn't miss anything, and also use print strings

or other debugging methods, which I'll talk about more in the Crash Course section to figure out what

the issues are.

However, if all of those things didn't work out and you tried your best, it's totally fine to ask

other developers for help and advice.

And the best place to do so for this course is the Cobra Code community discord, which already amassed

over 2000 developers.

You can find an invite link attached to this lecture.

I prepared a category specifically for this course, which has a little forum where you can ask questions

and also search for questions that others might have already answered.

So before asking something, please make sure to double check that nobody has already asked the same

thing.

It's also very important to ask your question in a proper way to get a good answer.

That way, many people ask is to not ask the question at all and to just ask for help in general.

Or if somebody knows about x, y, z.

However, that makes it really hard for others to help you and engage you since they don't really know

what you're looking for and need help with.

Don't ask to ask, just ask your question right away and in as much detail as possible.

Mention the problem in my new detail and also talk about the things you've already tried to fix it.

People are much more likely to help you if they can tell that you're genuinely putting in the effort

and not just looking for somebody to solve their issues.

It also helps to attach images and videos to bring your point across.

I will of course, try to personally answer as many questions as possible.

However, with how much I have going on with the YouTube channel and other courses, it might take a

while for me to answer.

If you have more general questions about Unreal Engine or Paper 2D that aren't directly related to the

course, you can ask them in the other channels as well.
