Ren'Py - Visual Novel Engine. Python, Cython, C

Here are 2 interactive story game engines: * https://www.renpy.org/ * https://twinery.org/

https://www.renpy.org/ this is an engine specialised for making visual novels. But I've also made a point and click adventure with it. Renpy is not a visual editor at all, this is one where you stare at code 100% of the time and then hit run to test it and actually see things. I love recommending this one to people who already know programming but don't want to go straight into Unity or other half visual, half IDE based dev environments.

And RenPy is basically an engine in itself, for making visual-novel style games, and has an excellent scripting language for laying out branching dialogs and logic.

This is a link to renpy, a pretty good visual novel engine I hear.

If you feel like expanding the project and adding visuals, there's Renpy. Otherwise there's a few python libraries like arcade or pygame. Obviously adding art is going to add a lot of time to this project.

Start small, don't push yourself hard. Get a book like "Python for kids" and read it. Then try to use ren.py framework: https://www.renpy.org/ to make very simple visual novel. As you get more familiar with python, check PyGame framework: https://www.pygame.org

are you just starting out? if so there are less code intensive engines for story / script writing. for example... Twine https://twinery.org/ RenPy https://www.renpy.org/ Choicescript https://www.choiceofgames.com/make-your-own-games/choicescript-intro/

Embrace Challenges: Challenge yourself with platforms like Exercism and Codewars that offer a wide range of coding challenges of varying difficulty levels. Additionally, consider exploring niche topics through courses on platforms like Coursera and edX.

Codewars: Codewars

You can try Codewars, they have a diverse range of practice problems(Cryptography, Data Science, etc.). Basically if you wanna get good in a programming language, you have to work on a lot of projects and practice problems.

Codewars is a good platform. Here you can practice code kata's daily in your preferred programming language. Link: https://www.codewars.com/

Also there's a ton of different CTFs online which you retrieve flags from machines that are positioned behind specific sorts of security measures (or lack thereof) which serve to show your proficiency in implementing certain methods as well as testing your creative problem solving, including but not limited to: Hacker101 which can earn you invitations on HackerOne to private bounties not publicly listed, OverTheWire which will also cover things like linux fundamentals as well as security techniques, PicoCTF, TryHackMe, Root-Me, HackThisSite, HackTheBox, as well as things like leetcode and codewars for similarly "game-ified" challenges to test and demonstrate your skills pertaining to various programming languages etcetera.
