I belive i would like to try making games but my laptop isint that powerful. Its a thinkpad from like 10 years ago, i upgraded it to a 250gb ssd, and 16gb of low voltage ddr3, i also put linux on it to screeze out as much as possible. So i need something that will run but im struggling on choosing expecially sense i want to start for free. I want to start with something dead simple and work my way up.
What would you suggest and why so?
That’s hard to say without knowing your background. If you know your way around a programming language already, simply using a library or framework for that particular language might be the easiest solution for you. If you have no background in programming, simpler tools might work better, such as fusion 2.5 or other purely visual programming apps. If you have a decent understanding about algorithms without a preference for a specific language, dedicated engines such as Godot might work best.
