Is there any good drag and drop interface based game building software for someone who knows nothing about code?

Yea game salad is your best bet but I'd suggest just learning to code if you were serious about making a game cause using drag and drop builders will only make you lazy to learn later on & you'll have a game on the play store that you won't know how to update or expand.

It depends what the objective is. I agree that drag and drop utilities aren't going to be useful to build anything remotely complicated. But they do introduce someone to basic programming concepts. Just don't expect to be creating 'Half Life 3' with it

So as a basic starter, it's ok, but I totally agree, for proper game development, it's necessary to get into coding, and understanding how to use a graphics library.

Thanks guys! I have been working with android studio and doing the tutorials online. Only a few days into it though.

Everyone has to start at the beginning. When it comes down it, coding is not that hard to master. You should aim to write clean and maintainable code. Believe me, maintaining poorly structured code is not pleasant.

Don't let it overwhelm you, I remember the day I tried to start learning I slammed my laptop closed & nearly pulled my hair out but then I took a cold shower grabbed some juice then opened my laptop and took it slowly and...I slammed it closed a short while later but eventually things slowly started making sense and once it did it felt great

Thanks for the encouragement!
