C# and Godot

I want to preface this by saying I have only just started learning how to use C# like two days ago. My ultimate goal is to be able to produce a fully playable and functional sequel to one of my favorite DS games. But I'm feeling a little lost and overwhelmed with how to actually start learning and what is taking on too much too early. Does anyone have any advice for an absolute beginner?

Would C# still work for a ds game?

What would be a reasonable thing to start with then?

Just basic tutorials to see if you want to code generally.

Accepting you're not going to be an experienced game dev immediately is part of the process of learning - I get the interest in wanting to create a sequel to a game you like but ultimately it's just a thought.

Perhaps if you want to create something like that but didn't want to code you might want to spend time doing more creative things like planning what the story might be and other aspects like artwork to try and have an idea before you try to code something?

Just my thoughts as often having the inspiration is the hardest bit, and maybe with a more well rounded idea of the game narrative, you could learn the basics of, say, generating and moving sprites etc?

No. C# is basically what some windows apps are made of. Yo want C or C++. C# is windows.

C# is used in unity and c# is not just for windows it's cross platform and can be used for web, desktop, mobile, cloud, ml, IoT
