a game engine is essentially a very cut down version of a game that the original designer has released. you can create a game from scratch in any language you wish as this is how the engine was created in the first place, but using a (someone else's) game engine means all the annoying bits like networking is already done for you.

HTML, CSS and mostly JavaScript can make games without using any game engine quite easily. I right now am working on a 3D game, and I made all of the 3D graphics myself, with enough dedication you can make almost anything with canvas. What I'd recommend is finishing JavaScript tutorial, and start looking into the canvas lessons also you can import engines for JavaScript and it will still work on sololearn, but this I know very little about. I hope this helped ;)

You can also use java,c++ to make games without the need of game engines.

You only need a way to render graphics (optional in text-only games) and a way to read input. Good luck making any amount of progress doing everything from scratch. If you just don't want to pay for an engine, use Godot.

2D: SDL2 library (donā€™t really need engine for 2D) 3D: OpenGL (kinda like the C of graphics libraries)
