It's definitely a struggle at first hehe, but once you start to get stuff working it's really fun. I don't know what your area of expertise is, but if coding is overwhelming you, I really enjoyed Construct 2 as a first step to toy around. Don't know if it scales that well though, never bought the full version, but for little experiments it was pretty cool. Construct 3 free was a unfortunately bit more limiting if I remember correctly.
Hope you keep at it and I get to see a project from you some day!
