Not sure if this goes her because im new to lemmy, but i have a snapdragon plus laptop, 16 ram, no gpu, i got this laptop recently when it was on sale for portability and because chromebooks are bad.

I want to get into gamedev and explore both 2d and 3d but im unsure what to try with my laptop as a newcomer not knowing much?

What would you suggest and why so? i need the simplest of the simple.

    The OS will be your limiting factor here. Chromebooks I think lack support from most game engines for development. The industry standard is x64 with Windows.

    That said if you can install Windows or preferably Linux you’ll have more options. From a search though. Game maker, and Unity don’t support Arm and Linux, while Unreal Engine 5 and GoDot appear to support it.

    Maybe in Windows you can get Gamemaker or Unity to work through compatibility. But honestly GoDot seems to be the safest bet to get it to work.
