I want to make a port of a game using sdl2 but I'm having weird errors and am a complete noob so maybe somebody could point me in the right direction. I searched google for some guides but could only find some videos by Modern Vintage Gamer but he didn't go into detail about makefiles.

Porting is not an easy task that you just download repo and uses different toolchain. You need to edit code and know something about programming and toolchain that you are using.
If you don't have any programmer skills, just give up and try to find something easier to start with.

    @Sicklyboy, someone on Reddit told me this btw:

    TCG live is an online version of the actual TCG. The primary way to unlock cards is to buy the physical cards as there is no monetization at all. You can still get cards without but much less.Like I said it's the actual game. Pocket is a much simplified version.Live has 60 card decks vs 20 from PocketAnother major difference is Winning in Live you have prize cards. Where after you draw your iirc 8 cards you put 6 cards off to the side. You get these cards into your hand by defeating pokemon once you reclaim all 6 you win.Further difference is the need to have energy cards in your deck. Meaning you are limited in how much energy you have.Live is also more prone to crashes & bugs. Like I said the service has absolutely zero monetization so less incentive to fix bugs when it works pretty good 80% of the time (exaggeration)Pocket is about collecting Live is for battles.Pocket matches last like 10 minutes Live is easily 20.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
