I have a bunch. Check the "vector" and/or "svg" tags.

In simple words? If in doubt, avoid GPL assets. And to make sure, ask a lawyer.

Yes, you can use art under a free culture license in a paid game. Just beware that:

1. Most if not all of those licenses mandate that people who get the game must be able to extract and reuse the artwork with relative ease.
2. GPL-licensed artwork *might* be viral, in other words the license might extend to your game. I'm not sure. That's not the case for CC-BY-SA.

And no, you won't have to pay the artists either. Though that would be nice if you make any money.

But seriously, if you need to worry about legalities, don't ask us. Ask a lawyer. Any advice you can get here has no legal value.

Maybe BaCon with the HUG extension, but it's only for BSD/Linux/Mac: http://basic-converter.org/

Or else Python with the Tkinter extension (manual at https://tkdocs.com/). It's more complex, but also much more powerful; I used it for two roguelikes now and it worked great both times.

By the way: using a table in HTML makes the browser waste a lot of RAM if you want a field of view any bigger than in your screenshot. And using PHP for a single-player game is a waste of server resources. Just learn to draw on a graphical canvas, in whatever language you like; if anything it's even simpler.

Try these:

https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/struct

https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/union

It's reference documentation, so maybe not the most friendly, but it's an excellent site that helped me a lot.

As of yesterday, I'm using about a third of this sound pack in my new game Glittering Light 2 (also on Itch). Thank you!

That's a very broad question. There are many kinds of games out there, and all sorts of tools for making them. What do you have in mind? And what skills do you have? Based on your question, I assume you're looking for something non-technical.

Also, I'm assuming by game design you mean actually making games, because for design work nothing beats quad paper.

I normally program my games from scratch, but I did make one with Ren'Py and two with Twine; do these count?

I'm using a few of these in my game Space Cruiser Orion. For once, they fit better than any other SFX pack I'm familiar with. Thank you for making them!
