You actually gave me an idea. I learned to program on a micro computer in the early 80s, which was a much lower threshold for learning to code. You plug the computer in the wall, and you see the prompt of a basic interpreter.

No need for complex tools, no compiler, no GPUs, or window management.

I decided to start a tutorial on how to program Snake for Python, just with a simple output to a command line window. No loading assets, just a gentle introduction to making a video game.

A simple step-by-step programming from zero to snake in 3600 seconds, or something :-) Hey, that's a catchy title! Keep an eye out for it on my feed, in case it interests you.
