2 weeks into coding. Still motivated.

Well, my journey into the world of programming has commenced again.  Got the hello world out of the way, and remembered that I know all the beginner's theroy on how to code, but was always defeated by the languages themselves.  So I fell back to pseudocoding for a bit.  Since I figured the best way to self motivate for this was to have an app in mind, I have developed one.  I did a Visio diagram and everything.  But due to the forseen issues I would have in C++, I figured I would fall back onto some more familiar territory to make sure my process for the program works first, then try the harder language.  So VB it is.

Download a working version of Visual Basic 2010, but it would not install, So im using VB Express 2008.  I hope some of you better coders dont frown at me.  But as it sits right now, this is the only path I forsee to getting to where I wish to be.

I would appreciate any guidance that anyone has in this.  Without taking classes or anything, this will be a bit harder.  But every journey starts with the first step.

P.S.  Heres the Flowchart for what I wanna have done.  For those of you familar with the Mekton Zeta Role Player, im working on a tool for that.  But for now, its just Beam Weapon construction.  The end goal is a complete Mekton Generator.
