for many years... about 2 ... i have been trying to figure out how to create programs / wright codes / and other exstremly cool stuff that the one japanese kid down the street could do * {poor joke for the poor folk} *

They dont exactly give out free learning guides online.

What can you really do with codeing on the WII [the wii] and/or computor

with that sayed .......

How ????? i have been trying and trying to learn codes online and trying to get linux[still dont have it] to try and learn how to create and code and wright ! :0 but i cant really do anything with out searching for the guide online .

What do you need to know to start. what should i do im open to all things

i would never use any info for anything illegal i just want to know how to put my creativity into an Progam file

all info is Good

Well, obviously everything you see in any products already out there are possible :-)

Some people will no doubt have issues with what I am about to suggest, but they really need to look up what the acronym stands for...

1. Find a BASIC intepreter/compiler. [www.thefreecountry.com]
Microsoft even provide Visual Basic.NET express for free: [www.microsoft.com]

2. Find a learning/reference book. Here's one for VB.NET [www.amazon.co.uk]

3. Start slow. Don't expect to write the ultimate game first, learn just how to put information on screen, accept user input back.

What can you do with coding? Everything computer (including video game consoles) related.

The first thing you'll want to do is grasp a simple language. I suggest Liberty BASIC as its extremely easy to learn and most languages are structured like it up to a point. As whodares said, you'll want to start with taking and returning user input. I then suggest creating a simple text based game.

Once you understand Libert BASIC, move on to C++, which is what everyone programs the wii with. There are free IDE's and tutorials for both languages.
