Mostly two things:

1) online platform for learning foreign languages via simple games, currently trying to make it work on mobiles (http://language-monster.com)

2) attempting to create a classic 2D real-time strategy game, although it's in early development: https://github.com/lchsk/knights I intend to make it work on Linux & Windows

You be interested in some software I found yesterday called Godot: https://godotengine.org/

It's got a fairly nice GUI and allows you to script events in a scripting language that's like a mix between Python and C++. You can also just use C++. Everything works as part of a "scene-tree". The physics and rendering engines are swappable. I believe it uses SDL2 by default. I'm pretty new at game-dev stuff. Most of my work is in back end web development. I just thought you may find it interesting or helpful.

Hi. Thanks, I've heard about godot, although haven't tried it. For now, I prefer to have more flexibility though.

[scriptkiddy]

Totally understandable. I'm personally terrible at C++, so it works for me.

I like the idea of gamifying language learning, and your first project is cool.

Can anyone recommend good 'game' type apps to help learn Chinese?

[lchsk]

Thanks. Don't know of anything made specifically for learning Chinese unfortunately, but I do hope to extend my project to include Asian languages someday.

On Android I've gotten great results from ChineseSkill
