The web has the strong advantage of being an enormous field built loosely on JavaScript. I'm not sure that's a perfect beginner language but at least it's not C++.
Games dev is a brutally difficult niche. Or at least it used to be, maybe these days the engine part is off the shelf and the programming a bit closer to storytelling. I've been out of that industry for a while.
- yazzku 4y agoThere are beginner-friendly engines like Love2D. Getting started with something like that should be straightforward provided one has basic programming notions. Otherwise, learning C (or C++) and exploring the internals for yourself will teach you a lot more about programming and data structures than using whatever web technology webdevs are using to inflict pain upon themselves these days. https://love2d.org/ https://love2d.org/
