If you google “First game created” likely Pong will pop up, It’s not officially the first game to be created, but it is the first commercially successful. Then when you begin to understand the basics follow along with my blog for the game you want to code. If you're completely new to programming then I'd recommend having a look at Daniel Shiffman's - The Coding Train on Youtube, he has a brilliant series for beginners. If you get stuck then use the blogs as a reference to see if you're taking the same approach to tackling a problem as I did, most likely you'll find a better way 😅.
If you already know the basics of programming in a game dev language I'd recommend having a stab at coding up the games before you read any of my step by step processes.

But of course, the language you use to code the games isn't important, It's the concepts you learn from the actual process of doing it.

It's basically a step by step process of how to code the games using p5.js. I released a tutorial series which I reference frequently in this blog on my website where I go through the evolution of games, so starting with Pong - 1972 then Space Race - 1973, etc. But it is nice to come home and spend an evening coding something a little more fun.
Just a quick note, I'm not actually a game developer my day-to-day is mainly coding large enterprising Java apps. So if you're completely new to programming or you're a Senior Dev many years into programming enterprising systems this blog should help you along your way into starting out with some game dev, or at the very least motivate you to give it a go.
Coding doesn't get much more fun than coding up a game, there's something so satisfying about making stuff move on the screen, it's just bloody brilliant.
