Learning to program via game dev (yes I do suffer suffer from chronic bouts of laziness)

In English NFI = No Fking Idea, I don't know if am showing my age here, but does anyone remember when the adults in Peanuts/ Snoopy talked in the animated show it sounded a bit like a fog horn that's me with functions and Loops. I know what they are, what they stand for and what they are "supposed" to do or so the legend goes. I know what my problem is with them and the solution. But as my Euromillion numbers did not match am still piss poor (and I know Lotteries are a tax for the dumb and usually poor, but it's still cheaper than other vices like alcohol which is indeed a solution. That is the dad joke for the day, see am funny and educational).

My problem in programming is that I sort of know the theory or understand the theory enough, but I lack the application, trying to find resources where I can practice things learnt for free is a bit hard and I really don't know how others do it.

I just see it as a waste of time when all am doing is reading up on this and watching a video tutorial on the subject when it's not sinking in at all. I am patting my back for still maintaining a two-hour study time slot and not hiding away in things anime, manga or World of Warcraft: trial as no dinero coming in, (also still not been able to upgrade hardware). So still pushing through, begrudgingly.
