Exactly how i learned

and a tip.. dont try to "make a tile based RPG" bescause it can be rather advanced for a beginner.

Start off with pac-man in textmode.. thats what i did and was my first game... then i made a tetris clone (horribly i might add)

then i planned a project and made small working portions of it.

Dont try and make a something horribly complex until you have the basc's down...

Start with meaningless things, the first thing i ever made was a interview with a robot, he asked you what you liked, and said he too liked it, then what you disliked and said he too disliked it.

Learn the math engine and stuff, i made 2 maths quizzez, i then made a program that worked out the area and circumference of a circle, then i made a short text based game, then i made just a pong thing, and a thing where you had to dodge dots moving around the screen. Start simple, learn the different engines that can be used, then go into more complex things.

heh, thnx, i've actually just been playing around with the line command, putting it in strange loops to get it to do crazy things and the such... i'm thinking about taking on a space shooter or something
