Setting Up Development for BennuGD - Part 1

Hey, there. So today, I'll be helping you to set up a game development environment for use with the BennuGD programming language to develop games or applications, create a simple Hello World program, and even port the program to the great open-source handheld, Game Park Holding's Caanoo.

What's a Caanoo?

Well, a canoe is a type of boat that... Wait, what? A Caanoo? Ohhhhh, okay. Well, the Caanoo is a new open-source handheld that was created by the company Game Park Holdings.
