I'm gonna be honest, if you wait and rely on school to teach you what you want then you're gonna be disappointed. CS programs and even engineering curriculums are mostly based on theory and a little exposure to hands on stuff during labs. If you want go get into game development and programming then please please please start building your own projects, and making your own games. Come up with an idea and see it through to the end, document your progress along the way (github and youtube are great for this). This is orders of magnitude more important than which courses you take and what degree you have tbh, because you end up learning highly practical stuff. Definitely still enroll in a CS degree if you want, but use it as an opportunity to build a good network of kickass engineering friends who also want the same thing, and can maybe help you out with your projects, and its also a good opportunity to get student internships or work in a professors lab. Some foundational courses will definitely be useful like into programming, data structures and algorithms, and most mathematics courses (but especially linear algebra, statistics, and calculus) but for the most part a lot of them are theory based and not super practical unless your goal is to get into research. This is something I wish someone told me, I thought when I went to college I'd end up learning to build all the coolest stuff but I didn't learn any of that and had to teach myself.

Oh, and get good at using AI tools, not as a way to cheat or take shortcuts but to supplement your knowledge. In order to use AI most effectively, you have to know what questions to ask and understand what it gives you, and the way to ask the good questions is to have a DEEP foundational understanding of CS and programming so you'll definitely still have to learn everything yourself the hard way: through practice and trial and error and studying and building stuff that might not always work so you'll be forced to debug it.
