everyone learns at different rates, heres what I did to get to the point I'm at (total noob but able to do basic stuff)
1. do this tutorial,
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=153346&b=7
and write everything yourself, you need to do this entire tutorial and write the code yourself, that way you'll learn it easier and it will stick quicker.
2. save the code and add to it until you can't think of anything else to add, when you've got to that point save it, and do something really basic, or take a look around the forums at peoples problems and try to see their mistakes, after a while you'll think of something else to add to it.
some ideas are-
1. a main menu
2. credits
3. music
4. hiscores
I'm at the stage where I've added a main menu, some credits, music and a few pictures, and I'm trying to add some little features, I keep getting stuck but this forum is great, so just post the code you've got so far and ask for help when you're in need of it.
I'll make sure to help you when I learn more, until then try looking at my questions thread, it may help you
