Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?
I've built a few games with my son over the years. The fun part for us was all about fast iteration, and then laughing at the bugs together. There are some other recommendations here for how to approach 3d, and he is specifically asking for 3d -- but I want to put in one more pitch for 2d: the fun-to-tedium ratio can be much higher. I wonder if you could spend some time prototyping some of his ideas in LÖVE... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
Show HN: A variant of Conway's Game of Life in color you can run on your phone
* When a cell is born it randomly takes on the color of one of its (3) parents. To try it out: 1. Install LÖVE for your device from https://love2d.org (~5MB and open source). (iOS requires building from source on a Mac, or installing the third-party Love2D Studio: https://love2d-studio.marknoteapp.com) 2.

Gearing up for Lua
Probably the most important piece of software we'll be playing around with is a game engine called LÖVE. Lua is well known around developer circles as being a good scripting language when it comes to making games, and this engine is one of the more popular. I'll be going through installation at the end of this post. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

Can't make my mind about which engine to use
LibGDX is great, but I can understand if it's not for some people. This also applies to love2d, raylib and Monogame. Source: 5 months ago

Open source recreation of the PS Vita game -- Calling all creators
I would like to recreate the Plastic Memories PS Vita game as a free, open source, cross-platform (any platform SFML runs on*) game for everyone to enjoy. I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to put into it (I don't have much time between school and various other projects of mine) but I can handle the code, coordination, and source code hosting.
