> I'm relatively confident with programming in general

Out of curiosity, why do you bother writing a statement like this? Is it to assuage your ego? If you haven't done game development before, it's safe to assume there are gaps in your knowledge and you're better off admitting it outright.

Could you please follow the site guideline that asks you to "respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize"?

passivepinetree did admit to have knowledge gaps, hence the "I don't know where to start". The point of that statement is to inform people who might want to help (rather than mock or chide) that passivepinetree doesn't need a guide to learn how to program, only specifically about writing games.
