Curious why Kivy framework which uses Python is not even mentioned. Is there something that I should be worried about? I am planning to learn Kivy soon.

Well, that set me on a side track :). I thought I'd share my experience here.

I've looked at Kivy in the past, but it didn't seem mature enough to rely on, especially for deploying to iOS/iPadOS. I just spent a couple of hours going through their documentation, building their example "Pong" app, and deploying it to macOS, iPadOS, and Android. All went off without a hitch, though I didn't mess with signing or trying to release them to the various app stores.

I'm going to say Kivy is more than capable of the things I'd want it to do. Looks like the roguelike I've had in my head may make it onto the screen in the near future!

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. This definitely makes me more hopeful about investing my time in Kivy! :)
