can you please help me
what do you mean by chrome extension?
You will have to set up your own developer environment on your local machine. This consist of two parts:
- Downloading and installing python
- Installing a text-editor to write the code
then you can use the command line to run your scripts, or with a text-editor like atom you could probably also integrate running python from the text-editor.
or you could consider an IDE like pycharm

Its important to see how codecademy works, codecademy just offers a web interface but the code is actually run on the codecademy servers.
so what you need to do, is setup your own local developing environment on your own machine. So forget about running your code in the browser.
which text-editor? There are so many, VScode, atom, sublime text to name a few). You can find them using google

all of these languages can be written in a text-editor, but require different things to run.
to run python code you need the python interpreter, which you can download here: https://www.python.org/
to run Java code, you will need to install the java compiler
html and css code you can actually run in the browser, you write the html (& css) in a text-editor, and run the files in the browser. This even works offline (when you have no internet access) because the files are read from the hard drive
oh, and java and javascript are not the same thing, java is to javascript what ham is to hamster (or car to carnival), these two languages serve very different purposes and work very different

java or javascript?
Games? What kind of games? Games is a massively broad term here. Please work with me here, and be a bit more specific and careful (java vs javascript) in your choice of words, thank you 
you don’t run Java code in the browser

html, css & JavaScript are the languages used in the browser
a 3d one? Take a look at something like 3d unity or unreal engine 4 (or are they at 5 already?). But i think that is a bit too much complexity for you at the moment
define running? you went through the installation procedure?
Text-editor are only for writing the scripts, you need the command line to tell the python interpreter to run those scripts you write in the text-editor. If you want this easier, go for pycharm (which is a full blown IDE (integrated developers environment)), that should simplify things.

ok then i pressed the download button and now it is just code if that makes sense.
i don’t want to make a 3d game i want to make a retro indie type of game. so think of Stardew vally.
the download contains an executable file which you need to run, to install python
how is that retro? That game was released in 2016

ok thanks
!!!
did that for 20 charecters
actually how do you get the execute file
and how d you get to a yotube vid what would it be called
if you have windows
10 then watch this video
8 then watch this video
but I just linked these videos just to be sure because it doesn’t matter what windows you have (7/8/10) but be sure to download it from the original python website because others(I don’t say that they will be) may have virus.
