Hey @lincolnbrebner welcome to the forums!

Thank you for your post and sorry that you are experiencing issues. However, we may not be able to help you with this issue if you do not complete the template fields fully.

Without a code excerpt and/or the link to your Repl there won’t be much we can do to help you. A screenshot of the expected output would also be appreciated.

The more information you provide at the start, the easier it will be to identify the problem.

Asking this question with no context suggests that you probably don’t have programming experience?

If that is the case you’ll need to first pick a language to learn, I would recommend Python or JavaScript (both are relatively simple as languages go and it should be relatively easy to make a game, eventually).

Once you’ve learnt the language, probably through tutorials (I recommend Codecademy for learning the language), you’ll then need a library for most languages to begin developing games, Pygame for Python, for JavaScript you have the HTML canvas API although many popular game dev libraries exist (honestly YouTube tutorials are probably best for teaching yourself game development).

Once you’ve done all of that (which will take a while), then you will be able to start making your own games.
