Game development 😋

Game development is a great motivator to learn diverse topics like AI (in the old sense, like algorithms), graphics, networking.

But it is unlikely to learn actual game development.

It's a bit of a sweet fallacy. We liked to play games, and imagine it would be cool if people liked our games.

But writing a polished game is hard work, and mostly unrewarding. Entertainment industry is ungrateful.

Anyway, it's fun to learn. The means is more interesting than the end.

I suggest you limit scope and join PyWeek or Ludum Dare.

(Note: in a distant past,I participated in~5 pyweeks, and had some small flash games sold)
