I learned carpentry when I was 13, I build a go cart... It worked, but I didn't have the money nor the springs to build a suspension, it's wheel flew apart in a pothole.

would love to but cant buy materials.

Hmm if you have a community college nearby check out some of their classes, for example I'm taking ornamental ironwork and all my mats are covered in the class for projects unless I want to do my own thing which only costs like a $1 per pound or foot or something like that. I'm going to have alot of fun in this class lol.

would super super love to but i dont know where one is and i have no way of getting there.
Dude ask your parents, maybe you can bike to it or depending on the times they can drop ye off.

Im not going to bike 7 miles to a place i dont even know exists. Lol. the closest one could be even 20+miles away.
I would love to ask my parents, if they werehnt already busy with shit. Dad with work and mom being a mom. And trust me, with all the shit she does, she does NOT have time. :c
Not that I mean to sound rude but your parents don't have the time to talk to you about school?
edit: Heck ask an adult friend or neighbor that lives by you for that matter though you'll still have to talk to your parents about money if its close enough for you to get to.

If you're 14, DEFINITELY learn to home-brew beer, and suddenly you'll be the most popular kid in high school.

Well, Heres the thing, I'll never drink.
Then I will drink for you.
You will have only yourself to blame for my early death.

Unless you have dwarfism you are not a dwarf.

You do not have dwarfism. Becuase i know you. Thus you yourself are not a dwarf. Nor do you drink.

You could just buy one. Solder and the iron isn't very expensive.. about the price of a movie ticket. You do need some skill with electronics to make anything useful, though. Otherwise, the only thing you could do is resolder badly soldered stuff.. or short circuit things :P

C is "simple".

You need a compiler.


It is made of basic expressions and simple functions combined in complex ways, with very complex libraries to produce great results.


If you have a compiler, the first step is to learn how to output to a console with stdio.h and then build from there(as once you have simple output, you can use it to test and learn anything else until you have more advanced skills)

Well, as for printf, it means print formatted text. There is fprintf (file printf), sprintf (string printf), and maybe others, with the variance being the destination.

Opening windows is complicated and one of the things you don't want to write yourself. A good copy-paste from a tutorial will last years, unless you get into the most in-depth options, and even then you will probably only change parts of it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_standard_library sould help.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:C_libraries
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows.h
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_C_functions

I honestly don't know/use most of those, but many of them are there.

Until you want openGL or any other advanced things, and most of the time you have to download them.
