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.

Easy game making and coding for tech learners
Pygame is a framework of python modules and libraries for writing games. It is modular and great for learning the basics of the Python programming language.

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.

Decrypt key and signature
That's all I can really tell you from what you've posted. The original version without the Blowfish encryption is open source (eg. https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/blob/v4/cocos/scripting/lua-bindings/manual/CCLuaStack.cpp) , and I don't really understand how why you have so much symbol information available if what you're trying to disassemble isn't also probably open source

How does writing shader source code work for OpenGL ES?
As others have pointed out, the biggest difference you're seeing is likely due to the _version_ of OpenGL (and hence GLSL) version. That said, there are still important differences. I'd recommend looking at a comparison between the same shader in a project that supports both OpenGL & OpenGLES. For example, here's a shader from cocos2d-x https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/blob/v4/cocos/renderer/shaders/positionColor.vert. Note the only difference in this case is the additional precision qualifier (lowp) for v_fragmentColor. Note too how cocos uses preprocessor macros to handle this, so they don't have to maintain separate shader sources. Depending on your goals, you might be interested in tools like Nvidia cg or nvFX that allow for creating shaders in a dialect agnostic way, but ymmv.

Still have nothing to do with VS Code - WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH IT IN TERMS OF MAKING THINGS THAT ARE RELEVANT TO MAKING AN RPG MAKER MV GAME, NOT JUST EDITING NORMAL TEXT!? + DOES USING VS CODE WITH BASIC THINGS IN GITHUB WORTH IT?
Speaking about markdown files on GitHub, I know that there are some repositories that have very stunning README markdown files, such as this one for Cocos2d-x, whcih includes images in conjunction with text. I might do the same for my repository as well. Considering VS Code have an extension for .md files, this might come in handy when I consider using VS Code to contribute to my game projects.
