Its never a good idea to start from step 35. Start at step 1, you may only start out with: “You’ve made the letter ‘A’ appear on the screen!”, but it gives you the foundation for what you’ll be doing at step 35. Most people make the mistake of saying: “I want to program a game!”, and then start at the last step, without learning how to do everything inbetween… and they either give up, end up with a big piece of crap, or end up copying lines, and lines of code from other sources that they don’t know anything about, and the results are horrific, to say the least.

Start simple, and work your way up! You don’t build a house from the roof down, do you?
