Game concept!

     Way back in high school I got the idea into my brain that I wanted to make a video game. All of my math books were plastered with doodles of a little blocky orange dude who ran around a space station shooting aliens, wherever it didn't say "C- You tried?". So for the initial concept for my game,(Besides the two ideas I already threw out.) I wanted to bury the ghost of my game idea by actually making it, because actually burying the book didn't work.
