Have you started by googling game tutorials? You could use Monogame or Unity if you aren't doing AQA. The whole point of the NEA is you do it yourself, so finding out is the first step. Then baby steps. Step 1 get a sprite on the screen. Step 2, make that sprite move. Step 3 add other moving sprites. Step 4 have sprites interact with each other. At this point you pretty much have a game.

Because AQA NEAs are marked against key skills. Problem with game engines is they do all the hard work for you making it difficult to obtain marks for algorithms or complexity.
