everyones makeing awsome stuff like full games and homebrew and im sitting here like 'OMG I CAN MAKE THE THINGY BEEP'

Well, everyone's gotta start somewhere! I also started with simple print commands and simple variable input. Just keep at it, and you'll be a pro before you know it.

Look up how to make a simple calculator. It's really easy and the reward to time ratio is off the chartable for a beginner

Second that, the best way to start is with basic calculations, then implement them with various GUI's, or make them into functions.

I remember those days. You'll get there eventually. Just remember that variable management is at least 80% of programming.

once you learn, it's just figuring out how to do things. for example, you're well acquainted with graphical and textbased games, but making an engine is difficult because it needs time and heavy work, with a lot of thought processes involved.

thanks!

Homebrew? Oh we don't talk about that. Nintendo doesn't like people using it. ;)
