Show HN: Tiny – A 2D Game Engine in Kotlin Working with Lua
Lua is easy to learn, dynamically typed and doesn't need to be compiled: it's perfect to get instant reload and it's perfect for small projects.
If you want to create games using Kotlin, you can try my 3D Game Engine: minigdx (https://github.com/minigdx/minigdx).
Or other game engine:
- https://littlekt.com/ (LittleKt (Little Kotlin) is a multiplatform 2D game framework written in Kotlin)
- https://korge.org/ (Korge - Modern Multiplatform Game Engine for Kotlin.)
- https://libgdx.com/ (LibGDX, it's for Java but you can use Kotlin, if you don't want to target the web platform)

Kotlin Projects
You could have a look at open-source game frameworks like KorGE or MiniGDX, they are written in multiplatform kotlin and not at all specific to android.

LÖVE: a framework to make 2D games in Lua
I liked working with it (the library) but learned I hate working with Lua just slightly less than I hate working with JS. At least in JS we now have TS and things like Elm.
I ended up moving to https://github.com/libktx/ktx for that little project.

🧸 Tiny : my Kotlin Multiplatform 2D Game engine
I highly, highly recommend using libKTX when using Kotlin with libGDX
- Is there a cross platform 2d graphics library with a simple API like p5
-
C++, Java, or Kotlin for a game engine?
Not sure if it's mentioned already but I'd strongly recommend LibKTX and Kotlin instead: https://libktx.github.io/

Asset Manager 1.0 Release: Download, index & search your game assets from itch.io and Humble Bundle
so kotlin is the preferred language for android development. It's fully interoperable with java and is usually touted as a better less boiler-platey java alternative. The language itself is very nice, with a lot of modern features and really nice syntax. It also has a really cool multiplatform system and a nice ecosystem for crossplatform libraries making it really nice for gamedev where you want to target all platforms. Some cool kotlin gamedev libs to check out if you're interested is https://korge.org/, https://littlekt.com/ and https://github.com/libktx/ktx (really nice kotlin bindings for working with libgdx which is a really mature crossplatform java game engine.

Game Dev
There is a Kotlin extension project for Libgdx, KTX. Its a good start as a beginner, there are lots of good tutorials for libgdx. Its good you limit your scope to top down games like Pokemon or Zelda.
