Making Games
I've been meaning to make a game for the longest time, but never get around to it for one reason or other. It's daunting when you say you just want to make a game. There are so many games out there and most of what people encounter has such a high level of polish that the moment you say you want to make a game there's a preconceived notion of what you'll be getting into.
I came across this article dealing with starting out making games. I figured it had as good a starting point as any, so I'm in the process of building my own Tetris clone in Flash. So far I have a basic outline of functionality, a few Actionscript 2 classes set up, and a rough interface for testing out some of the functionality like scoring and generating new pieces.
