I'm totally out of the loop with the gaming community, but you're
probably right on this.  Instead of trying to go from the ground up, I
wonder if a good approach would be to find a highly scriptable game
with a friendly modding community.

This seems to me like it'd let someone get their feet wet without
knowing a ton of theory, and work with powerful engines.  I've never
actually built  non-trivial mods before though, so I'm not sure if
that's good advice or not.
