HOW DO YOU START MAKING A GAME?

hihihihi- I'm adding to this because I want everyone to make games. My current top recommendations for books is A Playful Production Process, Rule of Play is a classic, so is Game Feel

This is long- so get ready

Other engines

Construct 3: Browser based game stuff!

Pulp: Extremely similar to Bitsy- make games for the PlayDate

PICO-8: Make tiny games and programs for a fantasy console!

LÖVE: Lua based 2D game framework!

Scratch: Educational engine, chances are if you're under a certain age you've had a school program use this!

microStudio: More browser based engine stuff!

babylon.js: Open source engine

For games adjacent things like alternative controllers, events, or installations

LIKELIKE online: Arts based open source online art gallery, remixable on glitch- there's even a template

Processing: Open source, 20 years of documentation, and super flexible if you wanna be experimental

Arduino: Make physical games using programming, or robots, or escape rooms!

Makey-Makey: Much simpler plug and play Arduino!

Okay but how do I make a game?

Fast answer- you just start. But a pretty straight forward workflow would be

Write down ideas, make flowcharts of ideas, scripts, mechanical descriptions. From that think of how systems interact

Paper prototype, see what works and doesn't work when playing through things without being restricted to programming

Jam, fail often and fast because each project is a lot like a sketch- they take a long time to do though. the quicker you are to kill your darlings and start anew the faster you'll get better

Do a game deconstruction- break it down into tiny pieces and stare into it. What made it fun? What were the small things that stuck out to you?

"But I want to make a complicated-"

Shhhh- no you don't. You'll burn out. Make the cube move first. Make it jump. Does the jumping feel good? No? Start over. Make the cube move again, but slightly differently- does the jump feel good yet? No? START OVER. As soon as you get stuck, abandon what you're doing and start over

And I'm not kidding, game making is an iterative process. The more projects you do the better, faster, and easier it gets. If you whittle away on something you'll never finish

Okay, jump feels good now, great now interact with something in the scene. So on and so forth until you have scripts you like and understand and these become your building blocks for projects

Make the smallest thing you can- smaller, smallerSMALLER- here's a breakdown of a dating sim game with a final 3-4 hours of content per playthrough, similar to something like Hatoful Boyfriend or Doki Doki Literature Club

Need To Have

Title card and a way to start the game.

A dialogue system including the ability to show text, click on buttons, and track choices.

Includes both NPC and player names along with dialogue.

One dateable character including tracking relationship points with the player, one friendship cutscene, one romantic cutscene, and one final cutscene.

Ending card and credits.

Want To Have

In addition to above:

An option screen that changes basic user interface, save and load system, player name input with pronouns, music volume and quality of life settings, so on.

An external narrative building up the world in which the game is played including a mystery for the player to solve.

Four dateable characters with individual narratives including 3 friendship cutscenes, 3 romantic cutscenes, and a final ending cutscene for each.

A resolution to the mystery.

Dream To Have

In addition to above:

A hidden menu that allows the character to make interesting alterations to the game and becoming the antagonist of the mystery

Mystery narrative is branching with several endings where the player can either fail or succeed without dating any of the characters

Friend only narrative choices and ending.

Two extra gag romance characters with diverge narratives unlike the others in the game

Jealousy/approval between characters depending on narrative choices.

Options to create poly relationships between compatible characters, options to betray or cheat on characters, and options to matchmake characters without dating them.

Multiple endings to resolve the mystery including hidden antagonist role.

I often reference this tiktok on how everything piles up

Game making takes a long time and wildly complex very fast. For my timelines I add a minimum of 3 months for each year.

Quick and dirty advice for once you've got something going

Call your grant officers if you got local funding, it’s their job to answer your questions!

Research the desired outcomes before asking someone for money; be that the government, a publisher, or yourself

Never pay for event submissions or showcases until you’re making significant revenue if you don’t have to, I suggest following Game Conference Guide’s calendar

Even if you’re working for free track your hours and costs so if/when you are making budgets in the future you know how fast you and your team work

Learn when to say something is good enough; cut mechanics or features early and often to avoid the project ballooning out of scope

Don’t quit your day job until it makes sense- it’s more sustainable to work on something without funding if you’re still able to pay your bills

Shipped is the best feature, some great advice from Mark Darrah

Make smaller, shittier, and messier games more often

Go forth, make games, then tell me about them and I'll play them if I can. I love when folks make games- you can do it!

🎮 HEY I WANNA MAKE A GAME! 🎮

Yeah I getcha. I was once like you. Pure and naive. Great news. I AM STILL PURE AND NAIVE, GAME DEV IS FUN! But where to start?

To start, here are a couple of entry level softwares you can use! source: I just made a game called In Stars and Time and people are asking me how to start making vidy gaems. Now, without further ado:

SOFTWARES AND ENGINES FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO CODE!!!

Ren'py (and also a link to it if you click here do it): THE visual novel software. Comic artists, look no further ✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It has great documentation! It has a bunch of plugins and UI stuff and assets for you to buy! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! (You'll just need to read the doc a bunch) You can also port your game to a BUNCH of consoles! ✨Cons: None really <3 Some games to look at: Doki Doki Literature Club, Bad End Theater, Butterfly Soup

Twine: Great for text-based games! GREAT FOR WRITERS WHO DONT WANNA DRAW!!!!!!!!! (but you can draw if you want) ✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It's versatile! It has great documentation! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! (You'll just need to read the doc a bunch) ✨Cons: You can add pictures, but it's a pain. Some games to look at: The Uncle Who Works For Nintendo, Queers In love At The End of The World, Escape Velocity

Bitsy: Little topdown games! ✨Pros: It's free! It's simple! It's (somewhat) intuitive! It has great documentation! It can be used even if you have LITERALLY no programming experience! You can make everything in it, from text to sprites to code! Those games sure are small! ✨Cons: Those games sure are small. This is to make THE simplest game. Barely any animation for your sprites, can barely fit a line of text in there. But honestly, the restrictions are refreshing! Some games to look at: honestly I haven't played that many bitsy games because i am a fake gamer. The picture above is from Under A Star Called Sun though and that looks so pretty

RPGMaker: To make RPGs! LIKE ME!!!!! NOTE: I recommend getting the latest version if you can, but all have their pros and cons. You can get a better idea by looking at this post. ✨Pros: Literally everything you need to make an RPG. Has a tutorial inside the software itself that will teach you the basics. Pretty simple to understand, even if you have no coding experience! Also I made a post helping you out with RPGMaker right here! ✨Cons: Some stuff can be hard to figure out. Also, the latest version is expensive. Get it on sale! Some games to look at: Yume Nikki, Hylics, In Stars and Time (hehe. I made it)

engine.lol: collage worlds! it is relatively new so I don't know much about it, but it seems fascinating. picture is from Garden! NOTE: There's a bunch of smaller engines to find out there. Just yesterday I found out there's an Idle Game Maker made by the Cookie Clicker creator. Isn't life wonderful?

✨more advice under the cut. this is Long ok✨

ENGINES I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AND THEY SEEM HARD BUT ALSO GIVE IT A TRY I GUESS!!!! :

Unity and Unreal: I don't know anything about those! That looks hard to learn! But indie devs use them! It seems expensive! Follow your dreams though! Don't ask me how!

GameMaker: Wuh I just don't know anything about it either! I just know it's now free if your game is non-commercial (aka, you're not selling it), and Undertale was made on it! It seems good! You probably need some coding experience though!!!

Godot: Man I know even less about this one. Heard good things though!

BUNCHA RANDOM ADVICE!!!!

-Make something small first! Try making simple: a character is in a room, and exits the room. The character can look around, decide to take an item with them, can leave, and maybe the door is locked and you have to find the key. Figuring out how to code something like that, whether it is as a fully text-based game or as an RPGMaker map, should be a good start to figure out how your software of choice works!

-After that, if you have an idea, try first to make the simplest version of that idea. For my timeloop RPG, my simplest version was two rooms: first room you can walk in, second room with the King, where a cutscene automatically plays and the battle starts, you immediately die, and loop back to the first room, with the text from this point on reflecting this change. I think I also added a loop counter. This helped me figure out the most important thing: Can This Game Be Made? After that, the rest is just fun stuff. So if you want to make a dating sim, try and figure out how to add choices, and how to have affection points go up and down depending on your choices! If you want to make a platformer, figure out how to make your character move and jump and how to create a simple level! If you just want to make a kinetic visual novel with no choices, figure out how to add text, and how to add portraits! You'll be surprised at how powerful you'll feel after having figured even those simple things out.

-If you have a programming problem or just get confused, never underestimate the power of asking Google! You most likely won't be the only person asking this question, and you will learn some useful tips! If you are powerful enough, you can even… Ask people??? On forums??? Not me though.

-Yeah I know you probably want to make Your Big Idea RIGHT NOW but please. Make a smaller prototype first. You need to get that experience. Trust me.

-If you are not a womanthing of many skills like me, you might realize you need help. Maybe you need an artist, or a programmer. So! Game jams on itch.io are a great way to get to work and meet other game devs that have different strengths! Or ask around! Maybe your artist friend secretly always wanted to draw for a game. Ask! Collaborate! Have fun!!!

I hope that was useful! If it was. Maybe. You'd like to buy me a coffee. Or maybe you could check out my comics and games. Or just my new critically acclaimed game In Stars and Time. If you want. Ok bye

#game stuff #please let me play your games #send them to festivals #okay tyty #i go back to making my jam game

Budget-Friendly Robotics Lab Setup Ideas for Schools

In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, education must evolve to prepare students for the future. One of the most exciting ways to do this is by introducing robotics into the classroom. Robotics labs foster creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning—skills that are crucial in a digital world. But many schools hesitate, assuming such a lab would require a big budget.

The truth is, with smart planning and the right approach, schools can set up functional and inspiring robotics labs without overspending. Let’s explore cost-effective, scalable ideas that make robotics education accessible to schools of all sizes and types.

1. Begin with Basic, Budget-Friendly Kits

A robotics lab doesn't need to start with high-end machines or advanced AI robots. For beginners, there are plenty of affordable kits that help students grasp foundational concepts like motion, coding, and sensor interaction.

Simple kits using platforms like Arduino, LEGO Education, or DIY robotic arms offer tremendous learning value. These kits are reusable and modular—one kit can support multiple learning modules across different grades.

If you're working with younger students, choose age-appropriate options designed for safe and simple handling. A Robotic lab for kids should include large components, visual coding interfaces like Scratch, and simple projects like line followers or maze navigators that build confidence and spark curiosity.

2. Make Use of Existing Space

You don’t need a dedicated room to create a robotics lab. Repurpose an underused classroom, the library, or even a science lab during robotics sessions. The goal is to create a safe, comfortable environment with enough room for collaboration, group work, and movement.

Modular furniture such as foldable tables and stackable chairs can help convert any area into a lab temporarily. Using existing space creatively not only saves money but also encourages flexibility and wider access to the lab throughout the week.

3. Tap Into Free Software and Online Resources

Instead of spending on expensive software, explore open-source tools and free educational platforms. Programming environments like Arduino IDE, Tinkercad (for circuit simulation), and Scratch are all free and beginner-friendly. These platforms allow students to learn core programming and electronics without the need for physical kits in the initial stages.

Many YouTube channels, STEM websites, and educational nonprofits also offer free lesson plans, tutorials, and project ideas. These resources can guide both students and teachers as they explore the world of robotics together.

4. Build a Teacher-Led Model

Training teachers in-house is one of the most effective ways to make a robotics program sustainable. Instead of relying on external trainers, identify tech-savvy staff members and provide them with short-term certification programs or online training.

Once your educators are confident, they can lead sessions and adapt content to suit your school’s specific needs. This model saves on recurring training costs and builds capacity internally. Plus, students often feel more comfortable learning from familiar faces.

5. Use a Phased Rollout Strategy

You don’t have to set up everything at once. Start small and scale gradually. A phased rollout allows you to measure impact, adapt based on feedback, and budget smarter over time.

Phase 1: Focus on grades 4–6 with visual programming and simple builds.

Phase 2: Expand to middle school with text-based coding (like Python).

Phase 3: Introduce advanced robotics, automation, and AI elements for high school.

This staged approach makes the program manageable and gives your robotics curriculum room to grow with the students. Planning a Robotics lab in your school this way ensures long-term value without overwhelming your resources in the first year.

6. Partner with Local Experts or CSR Initiatives

Many local colleges, STEM startups, and NGOs run educational outreach programs or are open to collaborations. Partnering with them can provide access to training, equipment, and mentoring without huge costs.

Look into CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) programs from tech companies that focus on education. These often fund infrastructure, provide training materials, or even help set up pilot robotics labs in schools. It’s a great way to add value while staying within budget.

7. Encourage Reusability and Innovation

A key principle of robotics is innovation—and that extends to resource use as well. Encourage students to reuse materials, repurpose parts from older kits, and work on open-ended projects. Over time, you’ll build a collection of reusable components like motors, sensors, wires, and boards.

Give students the freedom to prototype, dismantle, and reassemble. Not only does this stretch the utility of your kits, but it also promotes creative thinking and deeper understanding. Encouraging students to document their projects and create DIY guides adds value for peers and supports collaborative learning.

A creative and frugal approach to building a Robotics Lab for Kids in School in India ensures that every child—regardless of their school’s financial limitations—can gain exposure to next-gen skills and concepts.

8. Involve the Whole School Community

A robotics lab can be a powerful community-builder. Host student exhibitions, parent workshops, and inter-house competitions to showcase what’s happening in your lab. These events increase visibility and may inspire sponsorship or volunteer support.

You can also invite alumni, local businesses, or retired engineers to contribute with their time, donations, or mentorship. This support often becomes invaluable for expanding your program affordably.

Conclusion: Innovation Within Reach

Creating a robotics lab on a tight budget is not only possible—it can be incredibly rewarding. With thoughtful planning, open-source tools, and phased implementation, schools can introduce robotics education that truly engages students without compromising on quality.

The real investment lies not in equipment, but in curiosity, creativity, and courage to try something new. By making robotics part of your school’s learning journey, you're empowering students to become thinkers, makers, and future-ready innovators—no matter your budget.

Lab 7: Deep Diver - The Game

Midterm Project

For my midterm project, I designed a custom video game controller using photoresistors (light sensors) to control a fish character in a P5.js sketch. The player moves their fish character through an aquatic environment by interacting with sensors housed in a controller shaped like a mini fish tank. The fish swims up, down, left, or right depending on how the player manipulates light over the sensors. The goal was to explore playful and tactile input methods that might appeal to kids—imagine a simplified aquarium game installed at a place like the Georgia Aquarium.

I chose photoresistors because they respond dynamically to ambient light levels, making them a fun and mechanically intuitive for controlling movement. Unlike traditional buttons or joysticks, photoresistors allow for soft, indirect interaction: covering or uncovering them changes the light input, triggering movement. One sensor was used to control vertical movement (up/down), and the other handled horizontal movement (left/right). Since the lighting varies by environment, I had to consistently tweak the threshold values, which made the game more sensitive and responsive to different conditions.

The physical controller was inspired by a fish tank. I combined a laser-cut acrylic box (designed using MakerCase) with a found plastic container filled with water to complete the aquatic illusion. Inside the enclosure, I installed an Arduino Uno, breadboard, jumper wires, and two light sensors. The setup was minimal but effective and ergonomic—players simply place their hand over the sensors to interact.

Code for Arduino:

int sensorValue = 0; int sensorValue2 = 0; int sensorPin = A2; int sensorPin2 = A5; void setup() { pinMode(sensorPin, INPUT); pinMode(sensorPin2, INPUT); Serial.begin(19200); } void loop() { sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin); sensorValue2 = analogRead(sensorPin2); Serial.print(sensorValue); Serial.print(","); Serial.println(sensorValue2); delay(100); }

This code reads the values from two analog photoresistors and transmits the values over serial as comma-separated strings.

Snippet of Code for P5.js (sourced from P5.js serila monitor- darwin ver.)

// Extracts sensor values and moves fish if (dataArray.length == 2) { let sensorValue1 = int(dataArray[0]); let sensorValue2 = int(dataArray[1]); // Thresholds for motion based on ambient light let thresholdLow1 = 40; let thresholdHigh1 = 41; let thresholdLow2 = 28; let thresholdHigh2 = 30; if (sensorValue1 < thresholdLow1) y -= 2; else if (sensorValue1 > thresholdHigh1) y += 2; if (sensorValue2 < thresholdLow2) x -= 2; else if (sensorValue2 > thresholdHigh2) x += 2; }

I used serial communication to transmit data from Arduino to P5.js using the p5.serialcontrol app. Data is sent as a comma-separated string in the format "value1,value2\n". In P5.js, serial.readLine() is used to receive and parse this input. I implemented basic error handling by checking if the data string is valid before processing.

SideNote: One technical quirk was that the Arduino IDE and P5 Serial Control app can’t run simultaneously—so switching between them had to be done carefully.

Some User Instructions

Make sure you're in a decently lit area.

Plug in Arduino via USB.

Open the P5.js sketch and launch the game.

Cover or uncover each light sensor:

Sensor 1: Up/Down movement of the fish

Sensor 2: Left/Right movement

Watch the fish respond in real-time to changes in light exposure.

Project before the enclosure.

Project inside inclosure.

Some challenges that I faced during this project were lighting, serial control communication and understanding what logic to put into the sketch. Lighting conditions varied across different spaces, making consistent thresholds tricky. I solved this by testing and adjusting the threshold ranges based on ambient light in each workspace. Secondly, the serial port couldn’t be accessed by both the Arduino IDE and the P5 Serial Control app at the same time. I learned to only open one at a time and work step-by-step. At the start, understanding how small light changes affected input took experimentation. I used Claude AI to help brainstorm threshold logic for better control response.

I definitely could see this project going somewhere further, especially considering how cute the enclosure came out! I would likely add collectible items like glowing fish or light orbs inside the water part of the enclosure to make the game more interactive. I hope to build a more durable controller box with better water-proofing. Since my comfort is on Unity, I would also expand this concept into Unity, possibly using the same sensors via serial input to create a more advanced aquatic game and include some sound assets as well as other aspects to the game like a point system.

I would absolutely pitch this as a game to be played at the Georgia Aquarium for kids!

Participating in this project taught me how to bridge physical computing and digital interaction through serial communication and custom controller design. As someone interested in game development, animation, and interactive art, this felt like a pretty natural extension of my interdisciplinary practice, despite its challenges. I enjoyed learning how to think about sensors not just as tools, but as storytelling devices that can create new, embodied gameplay experiences. And honestly, I learned how fun—and powerful—it is to invent your own way to play.

How to Set Up a Cutting-Edge Robotics Lab in Your School

Technology is reshaping the world we live in—and education must evolve to prepare students for this transformation. Robotics is no longer a futuristic concept confined to labs and industries; it has entered classrooms as an essential component of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education.

A well-designed robotics lab provides students with hands-on experience in coding, electronics, design thinking, and innovation. It fosters curiosity, nurtures creativity, and develops critical life skills like collaboration, communication, and problem-solving.

If you're looking to introduce this dynamic learning environment into your school, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you set up a cutting-edge robotics lab that inspires and empowers students.

1. Understand the Vision and Learning Goals

Before investing in equipment or designing your lab, clearly define the educational goals you want to achieve. Is your objective to integrate robotics with the curriculum? Or are you aiming to build extracurricular interest and club activities?

Knowing your goals helps determine the kind of space you’ll need, the age groups you're targeting, and the tools and curriculum required. This clarity will also guide funding proposals and stakeholder communication.

2. Choose the Right Location and Layout

Robotics labs require thoughtful design to support collaboration and safety. Choose a room that is spacious, well-lit, and well-ventilated. Flexibility is key—opt for movable furniture that allows students to work in groups or on solo projects.

Ensure there are plenty of electrical outlets, Wi-Fi access, and dedicated areas for storing robotics kits, laptops, tools, and student projects. Proper planning at this stage lays a strong foundation for an efficient Robotics Lab setup in school that runs smoothly throughout the academic year.

3. Select Age-Appropriate Robotics Kits

The tools you provide should align with the age and skill level of your students. For primary school students, kits like LEGO® Education or Makeblock introduce robotics through block-based programming and colorful components. Older students can transition to platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or VEX that involve text-based coding and more complex engineering challenges.

Choose kits that allow room for experimentation and growth. Modularity is important so students can advance from simple builds to complex, multi-sensor robots.

This is especially important when designing a Robotic lab for kids, where the right balance of learning and play ensures engagement and deeper understanding.

4. Integrate a Structured Curriculum

A robotics lab must go beyond experimentation—it should be tied to learning outcomes. Select or develop a curriculum that teaches foundational concepts in electronics, mechanical design, and programming. It should also include real-world applications to help students connect what they build to how things work outside the classroom.

Some vendors offer ready-made lesson plans that align with national or state educational standards. Others provide teacher training, evaluation tools, and long-term learning paths.

Professional development for educators is critical. Teachers should feel confident not just in operating kits, but in guiding students through challenges, failures, and breakthroughs.

5. Equip the Lab with the Right Tools

In addition to robotics kits, your lab should include essential equipment to enhance learning:

Laptops or tablets with the required software

Internet access for cloud-based platforms or updates

Projectors or smartboards for demonstrations

Hand tools like screwdrivers, pliers, and safety gear

Storage for parts, tools, and student work

Optional additions like 3D printers, soldering kits, and digital multimeters can take your lab to the next level. These tools help students design and test more sophisticated robotic systems, encouraging deeper innovation.

6. Focus on Project-Based Learning

Hands-on projects are the heartbeat of a successful robotics program. Encourage students to identify problems, brainstorm solutions, build prototypes, and improve their designs through testing and feedback.

Assign real-world challenges such as building an obstacle-avoiding robot or creating a robotic arm. This kind of learning promotes persistence, teamwork, and ownership of the learning process.

Incorporate reflection activities where students present their work, discuss failures, and explain how they arrived at their solutions. These experiences build confidence and communication skills.

7. Create a Culture of Innovation and Inclusion

A great robotics lab isn't just about equipment—it’s about culture. Make it an inclusive, welcoming environment where all students feel encouraged to explore, experiment, and ask questions. Offer mentorship opportunities, host peer-learning sessions, and highlight diverse role models in STEM.

Celebrating both effort and achievement motivates students and fosters resilience. Students who might struggle in traditional classroom settings often thrive in this active, hands-on environment.

Building a culture of innovation starts with leadership—when teachers and administrators support creativity and calculated risk-taking, students are more likely to do the same.

8. Encourage Participation in Robotics Competitions

One of the best ways to take your robotics program to the next level is to involve students in local, national, or international competitions. Events like FIRST LEGO League, Robofest, and World Robot Olympiad give students a platform to test their skills, collaborate with peers, and learn from others.

These competitions often provide guidelines that schools can follow to align their programs. Preparing for them also sharpens technical skills and promotes teamwork and time management.

Use internal school competitions as stepping stones, gradually preparing students for larger stages.

9. Plan for Maintenance and Sustainability

A robotics lab isn’t a one-time setup—it’s an ongoing commitment. Plan for maintenance, software updates, and replacement of consumable parts. Train students in lab etiquette and equipment handling to foster responsibility.

Create a system to track inventory and restock essentials in a timely manner. Encourage students to be part of lab management through designated roles or rotating responsibilities.

If you want your Robotics lab in your school to thrive long-term, seek community partnerships, apply for educational grants, and showcase student success to attract ongoing support.

Final Thoughts

Establishing a cutting-edge robotics lab is one of the most impactful investments a school can make in its students’ futures. It’s not just about technology—it’s about fostering innovation, curiosity, and problem-solving skills that will last a lifetime.

By combining the right tools, a clear vision, and a supportive culture, schools can create dynamic learning spaces where students don’t just learn about the future—they build it.
