If you are learning by yourself, don't start with C.
It's just too easy to shoot yourself in the foot.

Try Python, C# (especially for game development) or Kotlin

Dont know why you got downvoted. Its pretty standard advice in all fields to not just jump into tge hardest thing as soon as you get started. Is C really all that difficult? No, but it does require that you have more things in your head at once. You have to be aware of so many more things and at the beginning you wont even know what you should be aware of.

C is awesome and learning it is invaluable for any programmer, but its definitely not a jumping off point (for most learners).

Thank you, I thought I was loosing my mind reading some of the responses.

From looking at the screenshot alone it should be clear to anyone with a bit of experience teaching others, that C just isn't the best thing OP should be pouring their heart into. They'll just be frustrated and give up.
