I got into making games around that age, back in the mid 90s. I used a tool called Klik and Play which didn't require any coding, everything was visual. It really clicked with me, I had a lot of fun and learned a great deal.
Klik and Play is ancient history now, but the company that made it is still around, might be worth a look: https://www.clickteam.com/
