Thanks for your reply I appreciate it. I really want to get get into game development. Would this be a waste of time for me? Or would this help me with building lets say like a 2d map builder for a game engine
Writing games has never really interested me so I can't comment on the usefulness for that but yes it could be useful for making tools to support other aspects such as a map builder.*
