Hey man I just wanted to say I agree with Jester, but if you need to start even slower with tic-tac-toe, pong, or hang-man. These tpyes of games. They shouldn't take more than a weekend or two to make. And it will help you develop confidence to make the harder programs, it seems this is more of what your lacking. Just keep adding a little copmlexity to the next game you do until you feel like you can tackle something a bit bigger.
