Thanks! On the lispy gopher show today[1] I hope I can find someone who is not currently game jamming to develop a sm0l platformer (using pretty much the exact same codes tbh).

You're an artist (programming is art too but I saw your pixelart)? Do you have any art wisdom for me?

Nice song! Thanks!!!

Artist widosm..i think i am not enstein in anithing. So dont know about some big features, big things.. i can tell...

I d tell...

1) you need to do progress the way you can. If it is slow then it is slow. MAin thing - it is just to make progress every day. 

2) main things are to choose - things you are interesting. for example for you it is LISP. And nobody to listen. You know, some can tell for example, in my case, i like QBASIC, FREE PASCAL programming, they can tell it is not usefull things, just ignore this. And concentrate on positive. Positive- is a progress you do. Even if it is small. Do it like every day. Every time. And it is a long road, to have result. So just go a long road. Nobody listen, and do what you choose all the time. And do a progress.

3) i think for some simple games. It is cool to do everything by yourself. To learn simple art (2d or 3d), some simple programming (QBAsic, some C++ and SDL2) and simple music (LMMS program). 

4) Programming is most hard thing. And it is most biggest power you spent on programming skills and most little result you have. It requires a logic and math mind. And most of people just nothing about it. So it is a most slow progress. 

5) Theory in programming it is a standalone thing. Also dig it. It upgrade your logic skills. And logic gives you a fast solutions in a real programs you write

6) well, cool so start with most simple pixel art 2d. It is most simple way to have a graphics for a game. Dig for something 8 bit, NES< Atari 2600-7800. Something like this for a style to start.

7) Keep on RETRO! Retro wave, retro programming, retro games!

8) Try to be positive in a real life.Real life affects a lot to a work powers you have.

Thank you for the amazing deep and comprehensive words!
