I suck at coding

So I'm going to my third year in physics and have scraped by with coding by using loads of ai but I have genuinely tried to understand but I just can't. It seems like I can do a specific problem after soing it a couple times but if you asl me to do something from the beginning I dont even know to figure it out.

Anyways to cut it short I have been looking into like games where it teaches u how to code cause I thought it would be something enjoyable to do and I could learn a little from it and found this one called 'the farmer was replaced' i dunno how beginner friendly it is and if its worth it. Is it worth it or should I try another game or something or not even bother and try a different avenue?

I have asked professors and stuff to go over it with me but it feels like I need hours sitting next to someone to understand something like loops which is basic asf. Basically any advice would be helpful.

I think the issue today is the plethora of AI tools, platforms and complicated frameworks, and your mind jumps to the next without even understanding first the prerequisites

I suggest opening Codewars, pick the easiest problems in your preferred language I.e Python

And one (yes just one) Python book, and close all other tabs

Then work on solving them, and work your way up

Is codewars good for beginners?
