    Phaser 3 Examples (by phaserjs)

    If you find you like web programming and you start to get the hang of JavaScript, then you could look for good starter game templates and/or follow tutorials. Phaser is a lightweight JavaScript game framework and has some great example games. If you're interested in making multiplayer games, I've worked on this open-source multiplayer game (it's a topdown shooter).

    The open curriculum for learning web development

    I've helped a lot of friends learn web programming, and I think freeCodeCamp.org is a good place to start (100% free), and theres a strong community there to ask questions and get help. Other great options for learning online are The Odin Project and Codecademy. Starting with free resources is good because you will learn if you like programming or not. For some people, it's just not a good fit.
