I love that last three paragraphs:

"In 1990, the US newspaper the Providence Journal reportedly invited five mayoral election candidates to manage a Providence-like city within SimCity.

Some candidates mis-clicked and accidentally demolished entire suburbs, but Vincent Cianci, according to the Los Angeles Times, successfully reduced crime, zoned for a waterfront development, provided housing, avoided new taxes and finished with a budget surplus.

Cianci won the election."

Regarding newbie-friendly coding, I find AGK to be quite fun. It is good ol' BASIC, but optimized to also support HTML5, Android and it also got a pretty good VR plugin.

I meant for the learning of modern languages such as python, javascript. Something like codecombat but yet different. I consider that I'd created something yourself in the engine Godot. But it won't be soon

Okay well we all got that wrong. XD

My apologies to the OP.
