I'm also 16, learning C, and not messing with QBasic much anymore,
(unless it's just a real quick small program that isn't meant to be
saved) and still learning Euphoria. I think that Euphoria is *MUCH*
easier to program in than any other language. For example, I just started
writing a generic database application that let's you define the database
before you use it. In just a couple of hours, starting from scratch, here
is what I have:
Define your own generic database (ie name the fields, tell if they are
text or numbers, etc)
Add and remove records
Load and save the data
Load and save different filenames
Error checking
It still needs a few more features, but it's a great start. (Although it
will slow down heavily if you get too many records... I'm not really
worried about that yet.)
(The main point is something impressive for a couple hours of work has
arised... Although I have been programming in Euphoria for over a year,
and been programming for 2 years before that...)
I've also been working on a game. It's a vector graphics Asteroids clone
with very decent AI. I'm horrible with coming up names for programs,
though, so it's called Vector. (Nobody even tried to give an alternate
name, and some have told me they like the name... :/ )

You mean you actually *COMPLETE* your projects?!? ;)
Okay, so what if I've only done one complete project ever.... (ACCOUNT
1.0, main impressive feature is it's GUI created by David Cuny's
TextGUI), only I still have about 10 other big projects and 3 of them are
almost finished! :) (Umm, sorta... Started one today, another is
Vector.... [I'm still trying to make the ship "bounce" off the rocks..
It's harder than it sounds!], and another is a simple Spell Checker with
replacement wordlists)
BTW, from INSTALL.DOC:
Euphoria stands for:
End User Programming with Hierarchical
Objects for Robust Interpreted Applications
