You know what the wonderful thing about canvas is? You can makes errors and it forgives you. And keeps forgiving you until you get it right. You can't make mistakes when you paint. So pick a color. Any color. Load up your favorite brush, and make a stroke. And then another. Don't think about it; just do what feels right. Creativity isn't a finite resource that can be depleted. It is self-renewing and self-growing. All you have to do is plant it.

So go, right now, and make a stroke.

Edit: a book suggestion for you - The War of Art by Stephen Pressfield.

Sure!! here's the link ! tell me if that works or not. I mean I know that I'd hope for like super professional perfect drawing and stuffs and I'm kind of a dreamer but I know to be realistic haha I'm easily impressed anyways and if someone did wanna work on it I'm sure they'd get better as time went on anyways!

Probably the easiest is to get a sound board app for a tablet. There's some with premade sounds, plus the ability to use your own. Something like this:

If you want something more physical I know you can make something using and Arduino and a bunch of arcade switches, but unless you've spent some time doing Arduino stuff before and can solder it's probably a deep dive.

A Google search for "diy sound board" brings up some inscrutables and YouTube vids.

Blender is a free, open source 3D modelling, animation, and physics simulation program. It's also got tools for video editing and 2D animation, and a compositor for image editing.

GIMP 2.0 is a free, open source photo manipulation program. It's raster only, but it's plenty capable.

I did the modelling, and materials in Blender, so the light from the grid and the reflections on the figure are actually simulated and rendered with the Cycles render engine that Blender uses. So the figure is a modelled body who's surface is simulating the properties of Chromium. Pretty neat stuff! I added the noise "starts" and the CRT cropping/RGB stuff with native tools on GIMP. All told the piece only took a few hours. It's an amazing toolset!

As the saying goes, start at the beginning:

A Theory of Fun for Game Design by Raph Koster. Not huge on the mechanics of how to actually make a game, but it's a great starting point to begin to actually think about game design and not games production, games art, games programming, or whatever. They're all part of what goes into making a game, but they are not game design. If you only buy/read one book about game design, make it this one.

I haven't started it yet, since I need to buy the thread for it still, but this is the biggest one I have a pattern for When finished it will be 24" wide and 18" tall. The fairy one that will be 14" wide by 11" tall when it is finished. I've got several projects around that size, though most of the ones I do are around the 5" x 7" or 8" x 4" sizes.
