title: Game Development toc: no ...
I (/who/astynax) came to programming with a strong desire to make my own games! First games were made using BASIC, some bits of ASCII art and primitive graphics. But it was pure fun!
And I wasn't changed a lot during all these years: I still love to make a simple game and drop it unfinished :) I just love the process! One "game" I remade from time to time is Conway's Game of Life: I implemented it about twenty times :)
I like to play with some old-school stuff like Pico-8 (a fantasy video game console) and even have a GameShell with Pico-8 installed. That sort of minimalism amuses me a lot! I made some games with /Elm and /Haskell. Also, I want someday to make a game using /Rust: I like the language plus it has a couple of GameDev libraries.
- Pico-8 mentioned above
- Pyxel, an another fantasy console (uses /Python as a language)
- LowRes NX, a fantasy console with BASIC you can have on your iPad
- FANTASY CONSOLES/COMPUTERS - more fantasy consoles, mwa-ha-ha!
- Love2D, a /Lua powered GE for building 2D games
- Microsoft MakeCode Arcade, the "Casual game editor" :)
