Hey, I was born in 1987! Interesting.

Just wondering what you meant when you said you need "a full download for gba programming"...???

Anyways, good luck on your projects. I wonder how many people in my age group are part of this forum...

The first thing that you has to do is to release yourself from the gba-junkie tutorials.
If you use stuff like bg2.baseBlock, then try not to do it! write directly to the registers instead! (set REG_BG2CNT)
Also, try to figure out what you can do and what you can understand. By knowing the borders of your knowledge you can break them and add some new! :)

ype but i didnt understand any of the register stuff because i have only programmed using jamagic and that aint a real language so i need to learn from scratch

Well you could master C or C++.
Then GBA Programming will be much easier for you...

If you and your friend are good at graphics, specialize in that. There is plenty of work available for skilled artists. If you have a site with examples of your work I'd like to check it out. You need programming or a game engine, and we need an artist... check out our game here: http://www.imagegames.com/bsc.html
