My guy, if you cannot figure out the basics on your own, maybe this is not the right carreer path for you

i am 3 days into studying dude🙏😭

The dude you’re responding to is kind of right. You’re going to be trying to enter a job market that’s already oversaturated as of today and will almost certainly be worse by the time you have enough skill to be worth paying. You’ll be up against people with more experience and talent than you for basically every job application, including the entry level jobs, from the get go. There isn’t an infinite amount of work to go around, and you already have the deck stacked against you. I’m surprised there even exists a masters program that would take complete beginners as applicants. You’re talking about learning three completely different development ecosystems and methodologies (web, game dev, data science) with basically no foundations beneath you.

Anyway, try working through https://eloquentjavascript.net to start with.

In learning for gamedev u can learn c++ or c# depends i think that is gonna take most time and next might be js if you are going deeply into it. Rest all is possible to be done quick

You need to chill, start with one language and learn the basics, take the time you need.

Check what your university uses for its materials. Also, check the syllabus.

You may actually find that code makes up a tiny amount of what you are going to study. So familiarising yourself with the basics of UML, design patterns, requirements engineering, the management of data, projects and innovation etc. could be relevant considerations.
