Board Game Arena

Hi there

I'm thinking of doing a simple card game project with BGA, the studio documentation that there is posted is very old.

I would like to know if there is any good tutorials, or latest documentation on how to make a game with BGA

With thanks

The Studio documentation is as old as the site, of course, but it's also continually updated. It is the best place to read and learn.

The process of making a game isn't simple. It takes time and effort, but it's very possible.

Hello there,

As someone who started developing (and maintaining) games on BGA recently (2-3 months ago), I can confirm that:

• The tutorials provided are up to date and very instructive.
• The absolute best way to learn is to start doing it.

On top of the existing tutorials, there are many games where you can get a "Read Only" access to the code, those will be of great service when it comes to examples and guidelines.
I'd recommend searching for a similar game (in a game mechanics sense) with that read only access and starting from there

Ok, thats ok -- I was a bit unsure as the docs are very old -- but I will look at github, find some projects and see whether AI can help me understand the ins and outs of the documentation combined with github projects and see if I can do a simple card game.

You don't need github, you can look at other projects similar to what you want to do on the Studio.
Of course, doing a tutorial is recommended and is a way to get familiar with the docs.

I'll note that this has been attempted in the past with terrible results. AI makes bad assumptions and developers come here to ask why bad AI code doesn't work.

You started by asking for the "latest documentation." It's right here on the site. Why not use it?
