Like the title says. I don't know how to program or what even goes into making a game. Does anybody have a good guide, study class, or even videos that can teach me how. Also good programs to use like unity or unreal or whatever makes vidya games tick.

in addition to coding, you should also think critically about mechanics and stuff. doesn't matter how well you can code race cars if you don't know what makes a fun track.

some games have robust modding tools, something like starcraft's custom scenarios or mario maker in your target genre would be a way to think about that stuff without having to get everything together from scratch
