   @a1ba Reminds me of Minecraft allowing to run a bunch of Lua machines via ComputerCraft.

     @lanodan @icedquinn @a1ba Pygame has a built-in sprite module which makes managing game objects much easier. It's my go to recommendation for a beginner who wants to get into game programming, but doesn't want to use a full-blown engine. Speed might be an issue, but it's decent for SNES/GBA-styled games.

     @icedquinn @a1ba :shrug_kon: lua's fine but trying to use it to make a game with löve2d quite made me hate lua for this kind of purpose because I just wanted a more powerful language (probably should have used something like python with pygame).

     @lanodan @a1ba lua being the exception to "there is software people like and there is software people actually use" dichotomy

     @lanodan @icedquinn @a1ba Genesis/Mega-Drive programming might be easier because I know for a fact that it is possible to write games for it in C (judging from an unofficial CaveStory port). I don't know if there are any C compilers that support the SNES's architecture.

     @xianc78 @icedquinn @a1ba Heh speaking of SNES I feel like my nerd ass would consider that for writing games…
