Other Resources:
- Game Engines such as Godot, Unity or Unreal Engine etc make the task of developing games much more straightforward and allow you to focus more on solving design problems.
- However, if you're up for making a game using your own libraries or SDKs, go for it!

Feel free to use any resources you like, just make sure that you have all the necessary rights to use them and distribute the content made with them.
