I am very new to using e.g. game editor to create a game. My question - is it suitable for game-editor to create game like the following video clip?

What skill may require or what kind of knowledge may need in order to create such game? Or any demo that is similar to this style that I can learn from?

Thanks.

Pretty much variables. If you don't know how to use them efficiently, then I suggest working on minor grid based mechanics before you start a project like that. You'd also need to know about Actor*s and arrays. But, essentially it is just good variable control, which is why you need Actor*s. So if you are just starting out programming, the project may be a bit tough.
