Awesome! If it's a hobby, who cares about the platform. Have fun and learn stuff.
This reminds me of being a kid, and always having the "hacker" mentality. Use whatever you have available to make something awesome.
I remember having my first "computer" based project around 2001 for school. We had to create some kind of presentation "using any tool" available to us on our home computer (or available in the school library).
I opted to create my presentation using RPG Maker 2000. It had animations, sound effects, and even a little quiz at the end. I handed the project in to the teacher on a 1.44MB floppy* drive containing only the compiled windows binary.
The teacher loved it and placed me in a regional school advanced IT program where I was first introduced to QBASIC.

- jonny383 7y agoSorry, I should have specified "introduced to my first actual programming language, QBASIC". Funny thing was, I already knew how to program (in terms of breaking problems down and using components to model data - probably from building games in RPG Maker), I just had never been shown a programming language. It was a "AHA!" moment.
