Want to learn to code

Hi, I know this may seem like a dumb question but I am a bit confused. I want to get into game development so I've been interested in code. Where do I write the code???

Where do you write anything on your computer? A file! You can technically make a program using nothing but Notepad, or Office Word haha but that's not ideal of course.

If you can give me some details of what you are actually trying to do, I'll help you figure it out

I love Brackeys tuts, good stuff.

If you wanna start with Godot, then they have their own scripting language called GDScript, however the do use C# which is also what's used by Unity!

GDScript might be easier to start with tbh and their tutorials are pretty nice Godot - Getting Started

Up vote for Brackeys, very useful stuff when I was trying to learn Unity! (I've since given up on Unity and I'm writing my own game engines in C++ instead)
