This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.
Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.
If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service

Notes -
Assuming you've been starting from absolute scratch, i.e. only the standard library, there are game engines that solve the question of "having a framework to click buttons in and have objects that move around". The problem might be that learning a game engine might be just as hard if not harder than learning a programming language.
Godot is one of the engines that people make 2D games with today.
I have to second this. Godot, for all that it infuriates me because it doesn't suit my very specific use-case, is actually a really good starter game-engine. It's lightweight, easy to use, and contains all the essential bits and bobs.
