Since I got my TI and started programming again, I finally did something today I should have done a long time ago. I installed Android Studio and setup my Samsung S8+. It's coming full circle. My plan for 2019 is creating basic program architecture in TI Basic and then develop these programs further into apps. Took me about 4 hours to get everything setup. But am glad now that all is setup. A long way to go. But you gotta start somewhere.
Since my unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign (only 5 backers) in 2015 to publish one of my game ideas as a printed board game, I have since wondered how to continue with it. I know, that this game as an app is a winner. (don' all game makers think so…lol) I will have no investment or production costs. Just time. But I would need to invest another 100-200 or so hours more, on top of the 100's of hours already put in.
Setbacks happen, but I still have about 25 other board and card games made out of old-fashioned cardboard, plastic and inkjet prints. All have been played and tested over the years by so many of my family and friends, but never found the enthusiasm to take it to the limit. The hardest part is the marketing and distribution. But with an app that's almost not needed as you just put it in the app store and hope wit a bit of luck you get the desired exposure.
But first, back to Basic, TI Basic that is and in parallel learning how to use Android Studio.
Anybody else here using Android Studio?
…indistinctness is my forte…
