Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.

Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.

Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/

My ultimate goal when i learn programming is creating a modable FOSS hoi4/eu4 like game because i like the genere but hate the dlc policy.
Id consider learning the base programming language of whatever engine you plan to use, unless you plan on building the engine from scratch.
For example, Unity uses C#, with some C++(as the engine itself uses it, the C# is what the end user uses), while Unreal engine is entirely C++
C# is easier than C++, but learning C++ will teach more concepts. I learned C++ first, built a 2D game engine with sfml, then I learned C#, and use Unity for almost all my projects now
