My childhood family computer had the old D&D games from the gold box where you had a wheel you had to pull out and align it every single time you played to get the code symbol to put in in order to play the game.
In retrospect, that was kind of cool, even if it’s diabolical.
Its fine.
Best advice I can give you is start where you are with what you have.
What you need will become apparent as you do.
