Wondering where to start? (question) (beehaw.org)

Some background info. I have like no experience with programming. I know basic Linux and that's about it. I also want to start game development.

I'd like to learn some skills and the fundamentals so I can eventually move to a slightly bigger project.

From what I've heard I'm between gbstudio, tic 80 and Godot. Where do I start?

The only wrong choice is being indecisive, so you start by picking one and watching YouTube tutorials about it.

Yea, I'll try start with tic80 with my haha funni riscv machine

Nice! Good luck and have fun!

Uhh.

Is there a tic80 build for riscv?

The standard .deb doesn't work

[–] Wxnzxn@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh, oops, that is of course sad :/

I'm not aware of there being a special build targeting riscv - maybe some searching around could find someone who did one? Other than that, I guess you could try compiling the source yourself - I guess that could end up being an exercise in itself.

Personally, I started developing in Godot, just fired up a tutorial two months ago and went from there, so unfortunately I am not that familiar with tic80 beyond a very superficial level :/

I'm starting with tic80 cos this machine looks cool and I wanna use it
