Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?
Starting with 2d games is very good advice however if the child is mostly interested in 3d, well not the most helpful advice.
Some people here forget that children are way more tolerant of not understanding things than adults are. They just want to get a quick taste not necessary dedicate their life to the study of game development.
I think something like RPG in a Box https://rpginabox.com/ is nice if the child likes Minecraft-style graphics. Also it is worth checking out if modding an existing games is something that might be of interest. Also blender is perfect, as it allows to focus on certain aspects on modeling first and in has an amazing game engine that can be solely driven by logic bricks: https://upbge.org/#/
Still, I think even something like Unreal should not be ruled out if the child is dead set on making a "real" game (9 years is a bit pushing it admittedly with help it might work out). For a visually-motivated child that has access to beefy computer, Unreal is the perfect tool to get things done early and fast. Load the starter template and they have a character they can walk around with in the first minute. Grab some free-for-the-month asset packs and they can make decent looking levels in a day or two that they can show friends and be proud of. And if they get to the point of needing logic, the visual scripting language is more than enough to make complete games in it.
Unreal is a monster of complexity but but perfect for just hacking together a quick asset-flip demo one can feel good about. They will learn about the realities of game dev soon enough, let them have some fun.
Also, if the child is the kind to need a more focused approach, blender is a nice choice

Unity’s New Pricing: A Wake-Up Call on the Importance of Open Source in Gaming
It's not as monolithic as you'd think. There are lots of engines out there but their communities aren't very vocal compared to Unity, Unreal, and especially Godot's community.
Take a look at: https://itch.io/game-development/engines/most-projects
And
https://www.gamedeveloper.com/blogs/the-generous-space-of-al...
If you look at both of these you'll see just how many engines there are and neither of these cover everything. There are plenty of engines popular in the Python community that no one outside of it are aware of. Such as Arcade [0], Python-Tcod [1], Ursina [2], UPBGE [3], and Panda3D [4]. But based on your description you'd really like https://gdevelop.io/. It embraces exactly what you're describing where you can build a game but just installing entire features others have made and put online into your game.
[0] Beginner friendly 2D library:
[1] Rougelike: https://python-tcod.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
[2] Beginner friendly 3D engine (built on Panda3D): https://www.ursinaengine.org/
[3] Blender Game Engine Fork: https://upbge.org/
[4] Highly flexible code first 3D engine: https://panda3d.org/
- Upbge is an open-source, 3D game engine forked from the old Blender Game Engine
- Ask HN: Favorite Game Engine?

Should I focus on C# or Pygame?
UPBGE which was formerly part of Blender is the only modern 3D engine I know of that supports Python for game development.
- I made a resident evil parody game using UPBGE (blender game engine), and it's in second person

[PC] [Late 2000s or early 2010s] Website/program where you can make an animated short video with animated figures and it was fairly easy to do
Was it 2D or 3D? Try GoAnimate (Vyond) or Scratch

Kids don't need tools for kids
Scratch has a very detailed wiki[1], which contains detailed explanations of even the most basic of concepts, along with example code. Now it also has built-in tutorials.
However, the real strength of Scratch is that it doesn't need any documentation or instruction. You can learn it simply by clicking around and trying things out. The blocks only click together in valid combinations (which you can infer from the shape of the blocks), so it's literally impossible to create a syntax error.

Where's the scroll bar???
It is turned out to be because of that the wiki cache in wiki's server was not "nuked" (i.e. cleared) after an update in the source code (see GitHub issue for reference) I guess it should also work well for Chrome right now.
