Gamemaker has a visual scripting similar to scratch (though still very engine-specific) and has the code editor + sprite editor built in, so yes I think it would be a good place to start. You wouldn’t necessarily even need to “upgrade” later, as the engine can do some 3d.

Depending on age, scratch might be easier though. The other comments have some good suggestions too

Oh I think godot’s editor is good yes, its language is structured similarly to Python and it has an easy to use input system. It’s much easier if you’re used to reading docs or googling, but gdquest has a cool interactive app for learning to program from zero experience

It can be! The docs can be accessed in-engine with a ctrl+click on a piece of code

Definitely easy to figure out, and there was plenty of tutorials to copy from.
