1. Starting out: Need guidance

I have learned a little bit of basic c but other than that, iv never really done any serious programming so i am basically new to programming overall.
I would like to learn to make games that run on multiple Operating Systems or at least make games that are easy to modify to run on other Operating Systems (at least Windows and Linux).
How much of Euphoria do i have to learn to accomplish this? Also, are there files that can help me accomplish this with this language?

Learning euphoria is the easy part, the difficulty is learning programming and there is no shortcut. You have read books about algorithms, data structures, and specialized book about 2D and 3D graphics programming. You also have to read source codes files from kownledgeable programmers. You obsiously have to code starting with modest programs. If you are ready to spend many hours a weeks, you may be ready to write a simpe 2D game like snake in a few months.

Has anyone done a simple 2d program that a beginner can easily modify?(e.g. make an object move)
I want to get into this language by doing that to motivate myself because starting out by doing text based programs like calculators and databases is sorta of a motivation killer for me since i want to make 2d games.

Hi
The two best game libs (IMHO) are SDL and allegro. Look them up on the archive, download and play (both contain sprite handling techniques, which is what you want for 2d games)
