Adding to this, the tools are meant to develop complicated games, and is not a toy tool to make an easy game. in fact, it includes messaging other users and some other not newbie things

<p>I love <a href="https://en.boardgamearena.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Board Game Arena (BGA)</a>, imho, it is the best <strong>real time</strong> board games site.  </p>

<p>They have a <a href="http://en.studio.boardgamearena.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">studio</a> where anyone can build and post new games.  I tried to build a simple bidding-tic-tac-toe, however I got stuck in all kinds of places.</p>

While this is board game related I am not sure that it can be answered on this site as it depends on knowledge that is not board game related at all. I am not sure that a question like this is a good fit for any of the stack exchange sites.

whilst the above comment is correct, its not really a Boardgames SE question I'm glad you mentioned it as was something I wasn't aware of at all and might look into when I get a chance.

That is up to you, I was just pointing out that this question is not a good fit and going to have a hard time getting answered.

# Is BGA-Studio friendly to new programmers?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-10-28)

I love [Board Game Arena (BGA)](https://en.boardgamearena.com/), imho, it is the best **real time** board games site.

They have a [studio](http://en.studio.boardgamearena.com/) where anyone can build and post new games. I tried to build a simple bidding-tic-tac-toe, however I got stuck in all kinds of places.

Is BGA studio a friendly site to new programers? I ask since on first (and second) glance it does not feel very friendly. **What I must know in order to build a small simple game on BGA-studio?**

The site seems pretty clear that it is not for new programmers. The description on the front page of who Studio is for says

"You are a web developer fluent in server side (PHP, SQL) and client side (HTML, Javascript) languages"
