DX crew represent ! <| sep |> All over their decision making skills <| sep |> Why not try contributing to an open source project ? You can scour the web for a project that most tickles your fancy and many open source games are starved for artists , as open source development is usually a programmers hobby . They will often give you a lot of creative freedom and let you change the game ' s artistic direction if you ' re skilled . Plus you ' ll get in touch with some programmers with whom you could later on team up to make your own project . Of course learning programming is still an option . If you tell us how you went about learning programming before we could maybe help , there are bad ways to learn programming and I have seen a lot of them and they either end by the student thinking that they just can ' t code or they end up creating some ungodly abomination of a programmer . That being said , programming really is a craft of its own and you have to do a lot of it to get proficient so I get why you wouldn ' t want to do that . Any quick way to learn programming is usually halfassed and teaches a lot of bad habits and bad thinking .
