What's the best way to learn to do so if you're a complete dumbass with zero experience and what's the best engine to use if you're a complete dumbass with no experience. Thank

Having installed and looked at Game Maker: I lied, I don't think I can be bothered to do this. Because why would I do anything when it's so much easier to do nothing??

I was just gonna delete the thread but I think I'll keep it up as a testament to hubris.

When I was 10 I used to make shitty ass games with sprites I ripped from mario all-stars with The Games Factory so I guess I'd recommend that??? Nowadays the makers of that engine made "Multimedia Fusion" (IWBTG was made with that engine) but I don't know how much better it is
