OK. I wanna start writing programs but I don' know where and how to start. I wanna make some game like Mario or something. Is there any program to do it or something like that? i wanna start writing programs cause my mom said that she would buy me a computer for 1000€, if I start writing.
Firstly this should be in the programming section. Before you even consider trying to make a game you will need to start off learning a programming language, for a beginner I would recommend something like Ruby. Basic and Python are also good alternatives, the reason I recommend Ruby is that it is easy to use and teaches all the important concepts. [url]http://tryruby.org/[/url] Give this a try.
Oops, I don't see the programing section. sorry, my bad

You don't start with a game. You start with simple text based stuff and work your way up.
[QUOTE=Pepin;22104972]And skip out on the knowledge you can get online for free.[/QUOTE] I have to disagree man. I tried for a while to teach myself C++ from some decent books and online sources but I just couldn't grasp some of the stuff (it was my first attempt at any programming language). Now I'm taking computer science tech and I can understand everything as it comes at me. Sometimes a good teacher makes all the difference. I guess it also helps that education here is pretty cheap. (2k CAD/year at my college).
Nothing can replace a good teacher but if you put the time and effort into it you can teach yourself.
