I totally get it! Developing on a Chromebook can be a bit challenging, but it’s definitely possible with some good tools:
1. Enable Linux (Crostini): This opens up a whole Linux environment on your Chromebook where you can install coding tools like Python, Node.js, or even VS Code.
2. Try Cloud-Based IDEs: If you’re limited on storage or power, check out Replit, GitHub Codespaces, or CodeSandbox. These let you code right in the browser and handle a lot of the heavy processing for you.
3. Game Development Options: If you’re interested in game dev, look into GDevelop or Construct 3—they’re both browser-based engines that work great on Chromebooks for 2D games. For pixel art, you could also try Piskel (also runs in the browser).
4. Use External Storage: Storing assets on Google Drive or GitHub can help save local space. And using GitHub to back up your code is a good habit too!
Chromebooks have their limits, but with these tools, you can still do a lot. Good luck!
