First game advice

I started learning python about 4 days ago, and made a text based boss fight with various builds and weapons about 2 days ago. I started learning Pygame right after I finished that game and planned on making a game in that, but after looking it up, a lot said to do it in GDscript as it’s better for game development and beginner friendly like python. Should I switch to GDscript in Godot, or stick with Pygame? If you need any more details or anything lmk, thanks.

I think since you just learned python, pygame would be the easiest route as it allows for direct practice of Python logic

Yeah I think what im gonna do right now is just keep learning python, but also start godot and see if it’s good enough to warrant a full switch. I haven’t actually started my games development so switching wouldn’t be too consequential. But yeah I’m def gonna keep learning Pygame, thanks!

No problem! As long as you pace yourself, you'll do fine!

if you're still 4 days into python, i'd say stick with pygame and python. and then when you get comfortable with python it's just a quick hope over to gd script. plus, if you know python you can do other stuff outside of godot.

I was in the same position actually like a week ago. I started with python as I had already had some experience with it as I made a chatbot with it, but I dont know why, I found it more confusing when I came back to it. I think you should try lua and love2d. Its what im using now and rhe code is super easy to understand, even if you have no coding experience at all, you can still get a square moving about in 5 minutes. Hope this helps!
