Writing even the dumbest game is something like step 4 or 5 in your career because you have to cover *all* aspects of a game, ie. kb/mouse input, graphics, game logic, savegames, config file,...
It may be your only choice if you're all alone, though.

But this is a community :) If we have 2 or 3 newbies each covering 1-2 of those aspects and maybe one experienced dev writing the overall frame, it would be much easier.
And that's what the 'Newbie Coding' forum is for ;)

Well, many "dumb and little" games don't even have much of that stuff, such as a savegames, any scripting system, or in some cases even a config file - a simple text menu on startup works in many of those cases, I was talking about simple programs that don't need the bells and whistles that more complex, larger games would need.

-But that's not the real point, my point was to start small before tackling something big and complex like UFO:AI.

You're right about the "community" thing though, it's nice that we have that here and it's a good idea.
