Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?
Or the more free TIC-80. I have paid for both, but never used either enough to be able to say one or the other has any significant advantages.

Try https://tic80.com/ instead of PICO-8, it's a free open-source alternative and still fun.

Ask HN: Favorite Game Engine?
I haven't used many engines, but I've been programming some simple games with LÖVE [0] and (to a lesser extent) LÖVR [1] and like them both.
But maybe not real game engines, as you need to do quite a bit of work by yourself. I guess it depends what your definition is of a game engine.

As for your question - yes, it's possible to develop for the Quest. The website has information on how to do that.

I love Python, but I ought to branch out. I've done some stuff in C# and Java, but never as much as I've done in Python.
If you are into VR, I'd try lovr.org. It allows you to build VR apps with just lua code.

Ask HN: Anyone tried development using an Oculus?
Personally I found LÖVR [0] easy to use, based on Lua.
