Thank you, but im also not sure what thing to code in or with do you have any suggetsion by chance? i also keep hoping from one thing to another in terms of engines, frameworks, and whatnot.
I'm a big fan of Python and just its standard libraries plus a couple 3rd party libraries depending on what I'm doing. Python is a great general purpose language. PyGame should be fine for basic video game stuffs, but I'd start simpler with just standard libraries.
VS Code is probably your best choice for an IDE.
Yes - Python can be good for making a simple game like Blackjack or Tic-tac-toe or the like. It’s a great way to practice breaking down large projects into smaller manageable chunks.
It’s how I started my programming journey. I think the first game I made was the card game War. There’s not much game complexity, but you can practice with arrays/lists, shuffling/randomizing, and conditionals.
