Not sure if this goes her because im new to lemmy, but i have a snapdragon plus laptop, 16 ram, no gpu, i got this laptop recently when it was on sale for portability and because chromebooks are bad.

I want to get into gamedev and explore both 2d and 3d but im unsure what to try with my laptop as a newcomer not knowing much?

What would you suggest and why so? i need the simplest of the simple.

I don't know if this is the sort of answer you're looking for (or if even all that pleasantly viable with no GPU), ~ almost certainly not what you set out looking for, in fact, but, it's the only answer springing to mind [Edit: Except also flare]:

Pioneer Space Sim

It's open source, actively developed, and lots of opportunity to poke around in. Although not just a game dev engine, still may be a fun educational and productive experience.

An oddball answer for consideration on the side at least. ;)
