Noob Questions From Nickropheliac: Where to go to learn pong

At first, I was making a procedurally rendered dungeon crawler. But as you could Imagine that is a rediculous place to start for ones first game. I got about 2 / 3 into the development. But that would take too long for my first game, and it would dispute the common keyword here for new developers. “More”. If I sunk all my time in that, I’d be taking in more information than I could handle. And I’d hardly be learning anything. I was following TheCherno’s game programming tutorials, these to be frank, are great…but sometimes not so much. The explanations are not very in depth. He offers tutoring, but the hourly rate, is too much and it doesn’t seem practical. Considering a majority of the users on this forum didn’t any studying methods which included tutoring. He’s a great programmer, but I’m not understanding him on a complete level, even when he is catering to the very beginners. So if I wanted to make a pong game, and learn from this, where would I go, guys? Thanks JGO gang ;D
