[help] Learning to code (lemm.ee)

I’ve been wanting to learn how to code for a while so I figure now is as good a time as any to start. I downloaded VS code on my laptop for python but I don’t really know end product I should try to code and I also am just bad and barely know what I’m doing. Does anyone here have any advice on what to code and how best to learn?

I’m a big fan of fighting games, so would unity be good for potentially making one of those?

Unity, Godot, SDL, there's some pretty good Python game libraries as well especially if you're going for 2D. They're all pretty good options, as long as it's easy for you to find documentation and code for. Unity's a little heavy, I'd recommend maybe starting with Python.

You also have the option of making it for Android if you want to be able to easily show it off to your friends.

Fighting game should definitely be within reach especially if you're going for 2D like Street Fighter!
