where do i start?

Hey Gumm,

I've only dablled with coding but I really want to learn. What can you recommend me reading? I wanna make a game like the original pokemon games. Is this a little too aspirational for a first time game and do you have any hints as to how to link a database of pok'e-info to a grassy patch?

Thanks

Hi, tom. There are tutorials on the pygame.org web site that I highly
recommend as first steps. Next I'd personally recommend studying Retro
Game Library, a project on pygame.org, and making a game with it--this
is the mini engine-like library which was the inspiration for
Gummworld2's design.

I think one could learn a lot by working a modest scale project to
completion. It opens the opportunity to work through complexity, and
learn more advanced programming patterns.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with pokemon games and the format of their game
data, and I don't know what is meant by a grassy patch.
