I want to make a game but I'm scared...
pygame never used it, but its popular python library, heard good things about it. i suggest if you are not trying to make resource intensive game, and you want to learn python which is a really valuable skill.

what is the best way to learn pygame from 0?
There two parts to sprite class. One is in cython and the there one in python. Would have to go through code to see which one their still using. Every test I have run. Sprite and Group will handle more images. With out frame rate dropping below 60.

Java or Python or C? for Coding A Game
To code a game, at first you should be familiar with some basic CS concepts and DSA. All of the languages above have modules and frameworks for games. I would suggest considering to start learning Python with DSA and then pygame (A Python library for creating games).

Need help with pygame's font module
Pygame uses SDL_ttf under the hood to work with fonts. If youāre just wanting to load your own font you can just use pygame.font.Font() and point it to a ttf file. If youāre wanting to mess with the font object or do something else with the raw font data, you might want to check out https://github.com/pygame/pygame/blob/main/src_c/font.c and https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_ttf/blob/main/SDL_ttf.c to get an idea of what pygame and SDL are doing under the surface.
