Free Game Writing Engines?

I want to learn how to code (like ACTUAL coding) and write really good games and practice it while I am younger so I am really good asas an adult

So, this is what I need:

a FREE game writing software don't you dare say Roblox, i tried it and it is NOT ‘free’ that is easy to learn


Please let me know what you know!

Godot is a good engine, if you want to work at a AAA company in the future you probably want to learn actual vanilla programming. Personally I began with C++, then learned C and Lua but if you're finding C++ too hard then you can start with Lua or python or something high-level instead. You'll have to learn C++ at some point though, a large majority of libraries are made for C++ or C

Try python! At python.org you can download python software for free (just check you're downloading the right type for your computer!) There is also a help section and lots of online tutorials and books you can buy that can help.

Python is lowkey a huge step-up from Scratch tho. There's a lot of things you need to worry about.

Not necessarily. And there isn't actually much you have to worry about. It actually checks your coding before you run it.

Depends on what langue you want to learn, C ,C++ ,C#, Phython, JavaScript, and Lua or the most common
whichever is the easiest

In my opinion, Python is super easy to learn. Then JavaScript (the one I use, used in web development and Node.js). I have done some C and C++, those are definitely harder.

I have not done Lua or C# before though

If you're specifically creating games, Python has a version called Pygame which includes graphics, from what I've heard.
