In 2020 I started live streaming the development of a turn-based strategy game. At that time I had little idea about Ada, programming or game development (nothing has changed about that to this day). But by September 2020 it had taken the early form of a Civilization clone. After more than a year of development, it has become almost a real game with its own features. And now I'm going to talk a little bit about some experiences and weirdnesses with game development in Ada.
