To start developing a simple Ludo game, you first need to understand the basic rules of Ludo. Then, select the platform where you wish to develop the game (mobile, desktop, or web). Begin with creating the game board, which consists of a square grid divided into smaller sections. You will need to program the movement of the pieces, dice rolling functionality, and the logic for each player's turn. For a simple version, you can create this in a game engine like Unity or with a game development framework like Pygame for Python. Once the board and pieces are working, you can add features like player turns, player win conditions, and online multiplayer (if required). Testing and debugging will be essential at this stage.
