Edit: Screw this, I'm using GameMaker.
Since I have all of this free time, I have decided to learn a programming language and, hopefully by the end of the summer, code an entire game. I realize this is an exceptionally overwhelming task, but there are two reasons I have an advantage over those who have failed.
1. I have never not been unsuccessful at nothing.
2. My buddy, who actually has a blog at http://goldenfarmproject.blogspot.com/, is assisting me; it's a two-man operation.
