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?

The best advice I have, whatever language or framework you chose, is to make the simplest game you can think of - space invaders, pac man, asteroids - something like that, and use it as a way to learn coding a bit. But make the entire thing, score system, menu screen, game over screen and all that. Leave your good ideas until you are a bit more confident or you'll risk burning out or getting so frustrated you give up, best of luck!
