im trying to make a game but it is confusing
Learn is a good place to learn how the editor works. Game development is a big subject but I think if you are really confused, the best place to begin is with learning the Unity editor and perhaps learning how to download something like 2D Game Kit | Tutorials | Unity Asset Store which does not need any programming.
It’s a big subject, don’t worry about programming right now if you are just starting, ask any questions you like, as often as you like.

There is a nice guide here too: 2D Game Kit - Unity Learn
And a friendly blog post! Unity Blog
Even if it’s not the kind of game you’d like to make, it can be a good introduction to first understand the tools behind making games. As above, please ask any and all questions.

ok thanks
I highly, highly recommend checking out Brackeys’ tutorials on Youtube.
Here is the first video in a series titled, quite plainly, “How to make a Video Game”:
Im useing mac @thesupersoup
Unity should function roughly the same on Mac, and you just need a Mac-specific Development Environment for either C# or JavaScript, whichever you prefer to write the scripts for your game in.
I believe Unity itself endorses MonoDevelop, which is a Mac IDE:

I highly recommend ignoring JavaScript (aka UnityScript). It’s currently in the process of being removed from Unity.
