which game engine should i choose?
Unpopular opinion now, but I also still think BASIC is still one of the most approachable beginner languages, even today. Late-era BASIC was way different than the old-style line-numbered BASIC that got a bad reputation for teaching bad habits, and it was possible to write well-structured programs with later dialects like QBasic. There's even a modern, open-source variant of it still being developed called qb64 that makes it possible to make standalone programs with it and I believe adds new features on top of QB (like for graphics handling, mouse, etc.) while also retaining backward compatibility with old QB code. It would even be possible to carry that knowledge forward to a platform like Xojo, which is like a continuation of VisualBASIC, though I wouldn't necessary encourage that. Would make more sense to start with QB and then take the fundamental knowledge learned there and apply it to learning new languages.
- Version 2.0.1 released, with critical bug fix for Windows versions earlier than 10 and other fixes.

Pra quem era nerd sem internet nos anos 90 no Brasil e usava o QBasic/QuickBASIC pra se divertir, hoje foi lançada a versão 2.0 do QB64.
Aqui, ó, pra matar a saudade: https://github.com/QB64Team/qb64/blob/77adfc4e1a537733047fcaf638abfcdeef46db2b/programs/samples/misc/nib64.bas (só copiar e colar no QB64, F5 e alegria!).

Resources for Visual Basic 3 for Windows 3.1
You might appreciate QB64 too...a 64 bit version of QBasic that is cross-platform to Windows, Mac, and Linux and 100% backwards compatible with Qbasic/QB4.5/QBX which is 90% compatible with Visual Basic 1-6 except for the OOP and extended keywords. You can find it, and the C++ source included (compiled with MinGW or GCC usually) at http://www.qb64.org

Can't make my mind about which engine to use
libGDX is great, but I can understand if it's not for some people. This also applies to love2d, raylib and Monogame
