I wanna make some games but idk where to start. Thinking of gbstudio but the hardware limits would make making a card game hard, any other easy tools? Is there a gbstudio eqivament for 16-32 bit systems?

    Terminal games are where it’s at, lol. In high school I’ve made connect4, battleship and a couple card games in C.

    Once I took a Mexican Train domino game code I made in C, ported it to Java, then added graphics that showed everything nicely, but clicking on anything just had it pass a number you would have typed to do the action in the terminal UI version.

      Yah, I have somebody’s 2048 game in my terminal here and play that when I need to stop thinking thoughts for a second.

      OK, but pretend for a second that some of us are mere mortals. Is there a TUI game dev engine (?) we could learn to dev in fairly quickly? One that protects us from the pitfalls of the C language?

      Asking for myself…
