Introduction - Getting started - First steps - Learn to code by making games in Tcl/Tk

These guides and tutorials will be written in Tcl/Tk. There are multiple reasons for this.

But learning to make games in Phaser is more difficult than doing them in Tcl/Tk because you need to understand HTML/CSS javascript and phaser, Whilst with Tcl/Tk you just need to know the basis of Tcl and Tk which are pretty easy. I recommend after you have a basic of programming knowledge to go after C/C++ based games and/or JavaScript games.

Tcl  goes perfectly together with Tk, a toolkit for drawing User Interfaces.
Tk by itself may seem a little outdated compared to modern alternatives but it’s the perfect choice for beginners who have no previous knowledge of programming.

It has an very easy syntax and you can easily code very fast
by requiring nothing than a text editor and a Starkit, Cookit or a simple installation.

We’ll be able to package our games/apps very fast and with extreme ease to distribute them to other platforms.
This means that the people "using" these apps will not even need to download and install anyother dependency.

You’ll be able to run your Games  and apps on Andorid devices later with minimal changes.
Things that are very hard by using anyother platform/language since you’d have to almost rewrite everything.

The reason we use Tcl/Tk combination is so that you’re introduced to programming concepts. Once you understand the thinking you can switch to anyother programming language you want.

Imagine having to develop a game purely in CSS/HTML BOOTSTRAP and combine it with javascript, jquery and with a server side language be it Perl, python, php, ruby..
For a complete beginner, well that person will spend a very long time learning the basics before he could do anything.
He would also be fixed to a specific toolset/ide.

You can create wonderful apps.

It’s by no means a silver bullet language. It has certain limitations, but it gets the job done for what we want it to do
