Making Games in Go for Absolute Beginners
I've been working on a game over the past year in Go using https://github.com/g3n/engine. I picked Go because I like the language and wanted to learn it. I picked g3n-engine because I wanted to work in 3d after making a few 2d games in the past.
Making games is so much more challenging and rewarding than almost all of the work I've done for pay. There's always so much more to learn that doesn't feel like just relearning how to do the same thing except with a different framework of the week.

How should I approach plotting (2d and 3d) in Golang project?
