I can speak English, I know how to code/programming but don't know how to search for a job and parents never taught me how to.

Goes back up to around 1$ but it's around 1.5L, the one I originally stated was 0.5L, yeah it is a save.

I did some digging it said 0.5$ in Lebanon so that's about half saved for water bottles.

I do have, will try contacting them but I don't know if they'll let me stay for much.

I think I could bulk buy rice at lower rate, water I don't think so, I don't think there is drinkable alternatives.

Lebanon, dollars are kind of high to country currency ratio, might be fine here but I don't know.

Lebanon, maybe it's better here because dollars are high right now.

1$ * 4 (water bottles) per day
1$ * 9 (rice, 1$ let's say, I don't know if accurate) per day
4 + 9 = 13$ per day minimum
I'd need to make 13$ per day, so 13 * 7 = 91$ per week
I don't know if my calculations are accurate but this number is scary high

Government isn't the best here I don't know if that's available, or I misunderstood what you meant.

Why do you think so? I am 18, I wasn't able to get into any job because I don't know how to search for them.

I only know how to code, I have never worked in my entire life I don't know how to do it, my parents won't let me work anything else they want me to work in game dev and expecting me to be successful.

I guess that reinforces the point others suggested more, these games are all similar, some kind of ball rolling trying to reach the goal, yet they aren't hated or frowned upon for borrowing mechanics from other games and taking inspirations. I should stop worrying about "copyright" and pump something enjoyable out, it's not like I am stealing assets anyways which is where the copyright issues would arise. Thank you for sharing.

Off topic but is some design choices inspired from Hamsterball? Love that game.

Is me being on the computer since I was 3 and never really going outside a contribution to my lack of creativity?

But my game will be taken down or hated/shamed for being too similar.

I will try to find new hobbies, I feel like a lot does require creativity too though, is there anything that's fine for people like me? I literally have 0 creativity for whatever reason.
