After having to remake the game in the last 12h of the jam since I made the scope too big, take a look at this Scheiße. SourceCode: https://github.com/marcosantos98/ld56 (I don't recommend taking inspirations since it's a bunch of code clapped together and I didn't free the arenas. It also uses raylib) LDLink: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/56/colony-manager

Where should I code? I have a dual-boot system with Windows 10 and Ubuntu. I primarily use Ubuntu for programming and am hesitant to code on Windows.

If you don't know what they are and how they work, take a look at this YouTube video uploaded by the creator of Fallout. His channel is all about game dev so enjoy it.

I came across this C tutorial series on YouTube today, seems valuable to me as someone who is learning C for the first time and the videos are quite direct and to the point. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL71Y0EmrppR0KyZvQWj63040UEzKQU7n8&si=JjQoyWkwhWKPLuhK

Hi, as the title kind of suggests, i might have stepped into something way bigger than me (or specifically my programming knowledge), im no way near an intermediate-advanced programmer. I have done a bunch of C++ programming back in highschool mixed with a little bit of Java, then it progressed into a Junior Java backend developer (with very little experience) and then finally here i am trying to learn and figure out graphics/game programming. I'll just say that my progress so far was just being able to setup a project, make it work and being able to create a window with a background color and a nice orange triangle, which is basically nothing compared to what this group "requires" and provides considering i'm trying to use C++ (eventho im probably learning it as if it was C). What do you guys think? Is it fine for me to just hang around and learn new stuff? Or should i just step off and focus on something less challenging?
