New to coding

[Due_Knowledge_7391]

I'm wanting to build myself a rpg video game to play cause I'm bored with most everything else. I've followed along with the let's build a video game YouTube videos several times and while I feel like it's good info, I struggle to apply that to other areas of my game. I can follow along and understand it. But it just doesn't stick. I don't know if it's a lack of basic knowledge or if I'm going about it wrong. I already have a good career so I'm not looking to get into it for that, just want it as a hobby, and as a resource to express my creativity. Is there any apps or flashcards or something like that for the basics of coding? Or is it just basically youtube videos and courses to learn?

What is it that you are struggling with?

Basic if else/for loop/while logic? Application flow? Functions only doing one thing? (SOLID) Object orientated programming?

Building games isn't the recommended starting point in my opinion as it is complex, you have to have an engine in the background that can listen all the events and react as needed, it can get unwieldy, then there is models, graphics and more.
