It is possible to learn programming..

[quote name='Issac' post='707554' date='Jul 14 2007, 06:40 AM']devkitarm (part of devkitpro) Go download it! (libnds should come along, you need it bad!)
some program to write c code in... (if you plan on doing it in c, like me) You can use notepad, or whatever flum...
and the command window... (cmd).

Not much more is needed actually!

Much info and help and tutorials at drunkencoders.com and gbadev.org (the gbadev forum that is)

best of luck, and any more questions, go ahead

EDIT:

Okay, some basic info.. do you know c ? it helps quite a lot, but isn't that necessary if you know any other programming language since if you write your code in pseudo code, you can easily translate it all into which ever language you want, by looking it up in a c book for example. (you don't even have to know ANY language, but it will make it a bit harder.. not impossible though! But if you know some language, you will have some structure help probably..)
<!--c1-->[codebox]PSEUDO CODE:

include good stuff
start program
define variables
write a welcome text
ask for a number
imput a number X
loop from i = 1 to X
SUM = SUM*i
end loop
write answer
end program[/codebox]

Now, to translate this into C++ you'll have to know some syntax and such, and know the basic structure of a simple program. This should be learnt!!!
BUT syntaxes isn't that mandatory to learn by heart... you'll always be able to use google or a book to look up functions and other stuff...

Might write the solution to this program tomorrow it's half past midnight now... got to sleeeeeep!

Good luck dude!!

I might as well add that Pseudo Code is a VERY important "tool", or "language".
it helps you a lot when you're a beginner, and even more if you are experienced!
write it all on paper even!
And what is this Pseudo Code you might ask; It's nothing more than English.... or Swedish, Arabic, Chinese... whatever language.. it can be C++Javabasic if you want
write something like:
[codebox]set a variable x to exist
ask the user for a number to x
loop the following piece x times
write "hello world!" on the screen
that's all of the loop
end the program[/codebox]

Then you can Translate it into any language you want!
Just use a "dictionary" like a Java book, a C++ book, online documentations (HIGHLY Recommend these!!!)
so I look up my "i'm too tired to look, and remember"-C book, and translate it into:
[codebox]int x;
cout<<"How many times do you want to loop?";
cin>>x;
for(i=0; i<=x; i++){
cout<<"hello world!";
}
retyurn(0);[/codebox]


Now that was just a basic basic example, but you get the idea. Pseudo Code is useful for more complex things as well, which I hope you understand
