DOS was a great platform for developing games. It was simple. It was constrained. We could write code in QBASIC and compile it to EXE and distribute it. It could run on any DOS machine then.
Is there an equivalent like that now for game development? What I am looking for is a simple and constrained environment. Has support for graphics and audio. But in this age, I would like something that works uniformly across Windows, Linux desktop (such as XFCE, GNOME, KDE), and macOS. Is there something like this to create small games like that in the DOS era?
