Thanks to everyone that replied with helpful comments.
I think that I should go with #tic80 because its free and I can figure out if I want to continue with it or not. Then I can buy the pro version to support the development if I want to keep using it.
There is also good documentation and guides on github about #tic80. Now the hard part is actually learning it and learning the fundamentals of game development.

Should I learn #pico8 or #tic80? I am thinking to learn tic80 because it supports more platforms to support my game on. At the same time pico8 runs better on my powkiddy v90 handheld where I do want my games to run on.
I know python so I think I can learn lua for pico8 or tic80. As well as the other functions to make a game. I never programmed a game except a duck clicker in python tkinter so it would be cool to learn a game engine and make games.
@blinry #Tic80-bytejam-variant called TicToc? 😅
Made Conway's game of life in #TIC80, which isn't what I should be doing. I like the idea of games that play themselves. It's like pinball.

Does anyone know of a way to get files from my Computer to work on the mobile version of TIC80. Through a big struggle I managed to get the .tic file to show up in TIC80, but when I try to load it it says "File not found"

I now hate mobile operating systems with a burning passion as hot as the sun.
