I'm really new to coding and don't have much experience. I'd love to create 2D games but I'm unsure which programming language to learn. I've seen a few game engines like Unity, but I believe that's mostly for 3D games. I'm looking for advice on the best coding language for a complete beginner interested in game development and recommendations on where I can learn these skills.

You can build games with several languages, so it really depends on what you like. JavaScript is great for web-based games, with libraries like Phaser or Kaboom.js that make things simpler. If you want something more serious, consider Unity with C# or Godot which uses GDScript, similar to Python. Just remember, coding is essential for most engines, even those that seem simple.
I’m not too familiar with coding yet, but I was leaning towards JavaScript since I heard it’s used for games. Which engine would be the best fit for a 2D game with it? Also, is Unity really just for 3D?
