Helllo. I'm a programmer that would love to try 3ds homebrew, but I have yet to find a guide that explains how to do that. I know basic c++, but I just dont really know how to get started.
Take a look at the example programs that are installed with the devkitpro installer. They will show you all of the 3ds specific bits. Personally I recommend keeping the 3ds bits of your code as isolated as possible and making your project so that it can cross compile to Windows and/or Linux. The lack of a debugger for the 3ds can make finding issues really hard to track. If you can run the core game logic on a system with a decent debugger than it makes it a lot easier. It is a bit more effort but well worth it in my opinion. Also, citra is good for quick tests but it will gladly run a bunch of stuff that will cause a real 3ds to lockup immediately - so test on real hardware frequently.

@SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid. -

one of the reasons i deleted all my social media accounts, reddit account (although i was rarely using it) etc was to get away from this shit.

@Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available. -

i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.

Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.

nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.

as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
