Thank you CoquiGames.
Right now I am just after the mechanics, one step at a time.
I will make a small map with symbolic objects and try to get a “character” to move with the SWAD keys then expand from there.
I am not trying to actually make the actual game, I do have its designs on paper/computer and have worked on it for over a year now.
so with that said, is there a good non lecturing tutorial that will tell me how to make the movements for a “character” (Cube)
