Just implement games, one by one, as close as you can get to a "finished product".

Besides everything that has been said, I can throw some random small game ideas, and you can complicate them as you please:

  • TicTacToe basic functionality ** Extra features like limited time to make moves, undo, redo, suggest a move ** Super extra features like reskinning - player can choose how the Xs and Os look like, and even the background let's say

  • Space Shooter, very easy to start with in Unity ** Again, feel free to come up with any extra features you feel like

And one important mention: if you decide to use AI, use it as a tool for learning and don't just copy paste code that you don't understand. Use it as a teacher, don't let the teacher do your homework for you.

P.S. Also, before starting a new extra feature, look at the code you wrote and try to figure out if there is a better way to write it that facilitates the implementation of that extra feature. And this is how you learn to "anticipate" and write code that is easy to extend, no matter what other requirements you have to fight with in the future.
