Thanks for the replies! I'm not too much of a noob as I've been programming on and off for about 6 years but I'm going at an incredibly slow pace. My friend and I decided we would create Tetris->Asteroids->Space Invaders for now. I'm in the bad habit of starting projects and not finishing them but I've still been learning. I'm hoping by having someone else programming with me I won't want to stray away from finishing the projects.

I recently read Head First: Object Oriented Design & Analysis which was a great read. I'm trying to keep the concepts from this book in mind when I program now and I think it's helped a lot so far.

I didn't think of trying to program Pac Man, that should be fun. A maze game would also be fun to make. It could definitely be expanded upon to add traps and monsters, maybe that will be our fourth project!

ApochPiQ, I read that a while back, it motivated me a bit to move my butt haha!
