any good ones that actually complete a project interactively?
not learn the fundamentals.

got an example of what youre looking for?

if you already know the fundamentals, it's mostly about making projects you're interested in. start with design before coding. after coding, refactor refactor refactor.

I kinda like the idea of incremental, idle games. But i'd like to make something simple first, not sure what.

here's your assignment. sort of like space invaders or another arcade game

plan:
1) create a simple rectangle the player controls
2) turn the rectangle into a sprite with a preloaded image
3) allow user to "shoot" from his ship
4) add an enemy ship from preloaded image
5) have enemy ship shoot back
6) have many enemy ships
7) make the game a scroller where you're moving forward and encountering enemies
8) add multiple levels
9) add the ability to save/restore from a position
10) add multiplayer options
11) add smarter AI instead of always following the same path
12) add different weapon options

how does that sound?

I can send you the homework documents for my Java class. They made us create a text-based RPG through 3 assignments.
