@BennyProfane ooh thanks for all the information. I have this book you see called "ZX Spectrum Games Code Club" which gives you a bunch of games you can code for yourself on the ZX Spectrum. Such as Tic Tac Toe and Breakout.

If VS Code can do the same thing and pack it into tap/tzx which I could then port to RetroPie's Spectrum emulator to play, I think that'll be just as much fun to get my teeth in to.

All I know so far is a little bit of C#, html, and Scratch (if you can call that a programming language lol). I'm looking to spread out a little into other languages and since I had the pi and code club book, I figured I'd start with some Basic before moving on to tutorials for Unity.
