interested in learning lisp, (specifically for games, but also for everything else including tui and gui applications for linux. currently have next to no programming knowledge, can i get forwarded some resources and some tips on what exactly i should do? any videos i should watch?

If you insist on learning through game development -- and admittedly I learn best by just jumping in and doing something -- you should at least try making something simpler than a full 3D game first, like a roguelike: https://github.com/borodust/trivial-gamekit, https://borodust.org/projects/trivial-gamekit/.

For something simple, https://github.com/borodust/trivial-gamekit would do.

Playing with their 'trivial-gamekit' based on cl-bodge now, very nice I think!

If all else fails, I recommend trying to contact author through creating an issue on github. If that fails too and you are too tired to continue that fight, have a look at trivial-gamekit (beware: shameful self-plug).

Learn Common Lisp and high-level 2D graphics using Sketch or trivial-gamekit. It's lispy, super fun and enjoyable way. Seriously. 2D graphics are easy to grasp and intuitive.
