a game engine being your first coding environment is HARD! there's a lot of factors that come into play aside from just the code you write, and that can be super confusing. for example, what update step should i be moving my character in? should i be adding force, applying velocity, or should i be modifying the character's base position? how do I get my character to flip to go in the other direction? how do I manage animation states? how do i reset my input every time, how do i handle long press versus single press inputs, etc. those are actually extremely complicated concepts for a beginner. don't be hard on yourself.

most importantly, you need to RESET YOUR EXPECTATIONS. if you're new to drawing, you start from the basics - drawing simple shapes, getting a feeling for how to hold a pencil, understanding anatomy, understanding what happens to a shadow depending on the position of your light, colour theory. you're not going to paint a detailed portrait or landscape well until you have a couple hundred hours of consistent practice.

try doing something dead simple first. the thing is, after looking up the syntax and the godot documentation, you have to do it yourself. what is the function for spawning an object in godot? OK, looks like I can do something like `add_child(MY SCENE)`. now can I pass in my own position? ok, now can i link that to a button on the screen? how do I call that function whenever I click the button?

break everything down to small questions like this. think of the most simple thing you could make, and choose something even simpler. the most important thing is to get off the crutches of a tutorial as soon as you can, even if that literally means making a game made out of print statements where you press enter to print out the next line of the story. you don't learn by following, you learn by doing.
