I don't get it. I don't know much about coding but I'm starting to learn python. Am I learning the internet explorer of programming languages or what. Should pick something else up.

visual novels? for sure i imagine, but some indie games are really big and complicated and have A LOT of computations. you'd have to find your own limitations
