So ive been told many time sto use godot becasue its for low end computers and it like unity but not. the thing is im not sure where to start or even whihc version of godot would be best to use. there another thing si cant code like at all i usally look up some code or let chatgpt do the wrok or expalin things to me but its usally not too good in that department. but i really want to make a video game and im not sure why or even how to start or what i should make, becasue i keep coming up with ideas that are way to complex.

do you have any tips, advice or something you would like to share with me by chance?

    I know that a lot of other comments recommend Godot, but I would seriously consider not starting out with a game engine when learning to code. It’s another huge time sink and source of frustration and can even teach bad coding practices.

    Start learning programming with a small and easy language like Python, Lua or JavaScript. Python would be an obvious pick if you plan to use Godot, the syntax is very similar.

    After learning the basic programming concepts, start learning Godot. Trust me, this will be much easier in the long run.
