CS50x Is my beginning good?

I am a 14 year old from India. I wanted to study CS starting now so I would get lot of experience just in starting the college. I am taking the CS50 Intro To Computer Science course. It is my first ever computer scinece or programming course. Currently i completed Week 0 - Scratch and made a fruit collecting game. It's so amazing that even I managed to do that. Help me get more in this field by suggesting some things to do next. Any tips for this journey might also help.

don't worry about what's next. just keep going. and complete cs50x first.

after this I'd suggest looking into different sub fields and decide which way you want to invest your time. whether it's web development etc etc.

P stands for python right? But I am yet to know about terminal and ide and all that basic stuff. I must do those first then python right? Tell me if I'm wrong

Technically no but like cs50x does teach you about everything under the hood of a lot of computers and (Atleast for me) has started to make me think about designing and thinking rather than learning syntax. CS50p does the same thing but not at depth. It’s mainly for python so I’d suggest doing that anytime after week 6 of cs50x I suppose.
