Rule 1: Start simple:
Exercise 1:
Make a paddle/blob/block move left or right according to which arrow key you press.
Exercise 2:
2a) Make a smaller blob fly up/out of the paddle when you press SPACE. 2b) Make it come back instantly when it goes off the screen.
Exercise 3:
Make a blob move left and right on its own at the top of the screen, changing direction when it hits the screen edge.
Exercise 4:
Do the same as exercise 3 - but make 10 of them appear in different places, but with the same basic behaviour.
When you've done all the exercises come back.
Rule 2:
Ignore anything that confuses you too much. You can always look at it again later.
