honestly there are two ways you can make this work, one you can study till you understand the basics and work with it or you can study/create and as you get used to the language and the styles you will pick up on how certain things work in games.
I think you should try to look video on youtube or find information on how to make a game. I think should help you a little. I also think it is hard to make a great game like raze. Good luck. Hope you can find a way to make a good game.
