>>My basic plan was to create a highly adjustable d10 simulator
That was your first big mistake. Trying to bite off a chunk too big for you. You have to start small -- very very small -- just like they want to do on Deal Or No Deal. Find yourself a tutorial that just teaches the very basics and the gradually increases in complexity. Or better yet buy an introduction to <whatever programming languag you choose> book.

Its like building a house. If you don't know the difference between a hammer and a screwdriver you won't be able to build a house. You have to learn the basics first.
