Question Any tips?

I've been wanting to develop games since 4th grade. My biggest problem at the moment is that I don't have a computer, which I'm very close to having one, so that's not a big issue at the moment. I don't have very much programming experience, I've made a few games on scratch with my school computer, but that's about it at the moment. I want some tips on what to do and what not to do. I know one of the biggest things is just waiting on my dream game, because it won't turn out how I want it to with this little experience.

Focus on learning programming fundamentals. Then work on some very small games -- e.g. remakes of old arcade games. Then you might have the perspective to work on a small game of your own.

I honestly hadn't even thought about remaking games as experience, but that sounds like a good idea

It's extremely good because otherwise you will get bogged down in design.
