New to System Development but have done minor module development
I am trying to see if there is a complete working model of a system that I could use a base to understand how to make a system. I mean I realize everyone is going to write solutions differently. All of the tutorials seem to be for before v10. Should I just follow those and modify where I need to for v10+. I am trying to develop a game system and It be nice to be able to create a foundry system for it to play test and develop it more. Any suggestion I would love some direction. I am pretty good at looking at code and breaking it down but I am really looking for a simple system just to understand the basics. I tried EZD6 which was the simplest system I could think.

Start with Simple Worldbuilding and build on in. If you want to see how specific thing is implemented, check other systems, although they tend to get really complex really fast.

I have found looking at the crucible system to be helpful. but, yes systems do get complex fast. I'd probably not recommend looking at pf2e right away, it might scare you lol. though if you want to know how to use TS, that is a great system to look at.

TS? typescript?

And please, if you make a system, do not use TypeScript
not only it will waste your time with all the overhead, but it will drastically limit amount of people that are willing to contribute/maintain/take over in case something happens

Well it's my own system and I prefer JS over TS

Simple Worldbuilding does a lot of special things that a system generally should not be doing, because it is for building your own system within foundry. If you are looking for a starter kit for system development, look at the Boilerplate system, it is built for this purpose and has lots of easy to read examples and gives a good overview of how a system is put together. 🙂

ok this makes more sense to me. thanks.. now to fix what ever broke when I renamed everything to my system name
