I want to learn to code, but it’s hard to learn on my own

I’ve described before how I want to make video games.  I’m a self taught coder in a few “academic” languages like R and Matlab and a little Java, but I’ve never worked on anything with graphics so I don’t even know how to start coding for video games.  Over the past year I’ve on-again-off-again tried to get into programming with Unity and I just can’t force myself to stick with it.  I’ll go in, make a block, make a room, and then tap out for weeks or months at a time, it’s just so hard to learn when I don’t have someone to learn from.  I don’t like video tutorials either, I work best with written tutorials, but those seem to be a dying art so I can’t find any.  I was wondering if anyone else had tried to self-teach themselves Unity and knew of any good tutorials for it?  Especially for something very simple and if at all possible turn based.  I don’t think I want to make the next Minecraft, but just having an outlet for my creativity would be nice.

    AFAIK you’re not “on your own”. Others are here, too.
    IDGAF about video games, but maybe someone else does.
