Okay I never programmed in my life and have no knowledge of where to even begin with it. I am trying to make a game something reminiscent of Shinobi and am looking for tutorials, books, step by step on what exactly what to do where to start, what languages to learn, and what software to download. I really want to make this game a reality for the Playstation Vita
Thank You Unity Community

Just like everything else in life, all you have to do is practise. I program at least 14 hours of the day, and I consider to be only decent at programming. But I am rising fast.
Make sure that the first thing you do is something that you will enjoy and challenge yourself. I started off in Flash As3. Kept things very visual and easy.
Unity3d is an even greater asset to programmers, you can easily create a dumb little game in hours. But i’ll let you in on a little secret all programmers know ;). We are master thief’s! Yes math is a huge part in coding, but Google is your best friend. What i’d always like to say “Why re-invent the wheel”.
MIND YOU THIS!!! You will end up destroying your talents if you just copy and paste! Take each line of code and re write it, commenting is extremely important.
Last thing: Be sure to have fun while doing it. Try not to make it a job.
Here’s something we prepared earlier.
Don’t copy it at all. Read it, understand it, then apply your new understanding to solve the problem yourself. Copying is copying whether you use a shortcut or type it with your fingers. The code isn’t what’s important, understanding of the problem and the solution are key.
