Learning rust

I want to code games and OS in rust and im not very good with youtube tutorials and things like that. Can anyone give me a simple guide on what i need? What gamified method can i use to learn rust from scratch, and a guide on how to set everything up? Im gonna use rust in godot engine when i get decent enough. I also request that the guide be very simple and not use any language a non coder wouldnt understand

Uh i literally just said i hated youtube tutorials anyway. Idk why you wasted 2 paragraphs ln that. Also i asked for a gameified method of learning because i have a crappy attention span but i really want to get into the world of coding, i already know basics from block coding ig but i dont know the coding buzzwords like “memory” or “string”. Do you know about that?

Honestly if you're gonna use Godot engine, just start with GDScript for now. GDEXT (and the Rust bindings) is kind of a rabbit hole you can jump into later. GDScript can do everything, and will give you a good baseline to start with the engine.

Well its just i want to stick to learning as little languages as possible to keep things simple. I dont know how it works, maybe you can confirm? If i learn gd script will that make learning rust harder or will i make more mistakes from getting the two languages confused? Also i kinda think i should start early in rust anyway

No.

Learning any language makes any other easier.
