[[Microcontroller|Microcontrollers]] are perhaps one of the most powerful tools waste of space provides you with. Knowing how to use them is paramount if you want to implement any kind of advanced automation or autonomy into your builds. This is not to say they are only for drones and factories, however. Programming expands your already large range of possibilities to a nearly boundless one. |

This tutorial will provide you with a brief guide on programming and coding in-game. Namely; programming and coding are not the same, though they are often confused as such. Coding is just writing instructions to the computer (code), while programming is the engineering of software. A programmer creates algorithms and solves problems, and then codes them to create a fully-fledged software solution. |

Please do not feel intimidated by this, as if it something out of reach to you. Though serious programming is not for everyone, you do '''not''' need to be an ''AAA++'' software engineer with 15 years of experience to code up your little idea. Everyone needs to start somewhere, even the pros; and Waste of Space is hardly a source of difficult problems. If you haven't already gotten the jist, this guide is aimed at newcomers to programming. Perhaps, if after reading this tutorial you find out that you like programming, you may even become one of those pros one day. Even in the worst case though, you will have learned another, increasingly relevant skill, and will have developed your logical thinking. |

If you still aren't sure, perhaps a well-known example (it's on the game's thumbnail!) of programming in waste of space can win you over. |
