What is something like a hobby or skill that you belive almost anybody should give a try, and what makes your suggestion so good compared to other things?

i feel like this is a descent question i guess.

    Python with PyGame can be quite a good start. And if you’re just trying to build something for fun maybe use free assets from the internet.

      Taught myself python at 50 years of age. My God, being able to code is like a superpower. I started out doing some things to make my job easier, later developed an interest in web scraping and data analysis, now I am tinkering with machine learning. I regret listening to people who told me that a strong background in math is required for coding.

        For most things code related you require minimal math skills (although a logic oriented mind can be hone by math). I’m glad you’re enjoying your time coding ❤️

      I can only assume you got downvoted for this because people think you’re advocating stealing assets. So for anyone else reading this, there are actually whole websites devoted to providing free assets for use in games.

        Maybe it’s a bug, but I don’t see any downvotes on my side (from kBin). Didn’t thought it was needed to specify that indeed, you should only use assets that are listed as free.
