what should I use to create games in lua? raylib vs love 2d
I tried both and honestly the experience with love is better because it's actually made for lua. There's a vscode extension for love, a ton of lua libraries etc.
-
Beginner question: is there any coding standard for documenting Lua functions or tables emulating OOP?
For OOP, look into metatables. I got started with Lua through Love2D and through that I found some OOP modules that are pretty helpful. Here’s a full list of them: https://github.com/love2d-community/awesome-love2d (I’ve been using classic with my projects)

What are the first game engines/frameworks that come to mind when you hear "code only?"
Such a great Lua gamedev framework! And there's lots of libraries in GitHub. Many collected on awesome-love2d so you don't have to build everything yourself.
-
ECS engine in C++ in Lua
love2d is open source and runs on PC and phones. Someone's even ported it to Nintendo3DS/Switch homebrew. nata is the ECS I use, but you can also checkout more libraries on awesome-love2d. I really enjoy using love2d (especially if you enjoy the engine building parts), but one caveat is that major version number bumps will break compatibility. It's usually easy to port and they deprecate functions long in advance. But there's lots of old libraries out there for older versions that won't just work on the latest love2d (like the code for Harvard's CS50 course).

Question about game menus and ui
This is example is just the simple version, a state managers can be very powerful, some examples can be found here

Can one make a Stardew Valley clone with Love2D?
I've used tiny ECS a bit, and I like it a lot. Check out this list
- Love2D vs Solar2D
-
How to make apps for mobile?
It depends on what you want to display that will dictate the limitations on how you can adjust to different resolutions. There are probably libraries that can help you with this.
-
how would u do this
Once you've done a few tutorials, you can start doing your own thing. Use the LÖVE Wiki (first link) to your advantage. It has the whole love API documented, and you'll probably need to have it open while you work. At this point, you can also look at this GitHub repository for a list of cool libraries that work with LÖVE.

Tutorials or "hands on" learning?
as for my 2D engine I am using Stencyl as it has a way to use blocks for programming and you could write out the code if you wanted to, it can create games that can be put in market places as well.
-
People in the gamedev industry, how helpful are gamedev courses in university?
Stencyl is a really easy game engine to use. https://www.stencyl.com/ you can probably bang out a few quick games with it as you follow their tutorials.
-
What 2D Engine Should I Choose?
Try Stencyl .

He used Stencyl
-
Where to start after scratch. (10 year old).
Stencyl! Build on Scratch but way more capable.
-
what engine to use?
For an easy start in game developing, I would suggest to try GDevelop or Stencyl. Both are an easy option to start from 0. Once you get a grasp on programming logic and how to do some basic things, you can move to other engines if you want to do things in 3D.
- If I loaned you $10k; what would you do with it?
-
I've been palying this game called Shatter, and i didnt recognise the engine it credited in the logos at the start... I then did some digging and couldnt find anything about it.
Never heard of stencil.. but I have heard of stencyl. Maybe it is a variation of it?

I'm a BAFTA nominated writer for video games, ask me anything!
If you're not the sociable type (you'll have to work on that because game making is first and foremost team work, but I understand it might be hard if you feel like you're not skilled enough), a lot of solutions exist to easily make your own games on your own, like Stencyl, or Adventure Game Studio. They'll barely require any technical knowledge, but if you really want to focus on writing, then you can even go with text-only tools such as Twine or Ink/Inky.
