Kid, you're going to have a hard time finding better help.
There is no magic that will make you a programmer over night.
The Ruby-Talk list is one of the most beginner friendly places you  
will find.
Most others will tell you RTFM.
If you can manage some Ruby scripting, you'll be able to transfer the  
skills you learn to other scripting languages.
There are more than a few game-making engines out there that take  
most of the hard programming out of the way and leave you with  
scripting and design.
But with your attitude, you will not get much.
We are laying it on you straight.
Graphical games, particularly the 3D variety are pretty complex  
programs that would take a single person years to develop.
Lots of programmers were (and are) gamers and that's often how they  
got into programming.
You can be a game designer too. If you have lots of good ideas  
planned out, then get together with a programmer and a graphics  
person. The age of the one-man game company is pretty far gone. The  
last classic I know of that was a one man endeavor RPG was Ultima.
More than that takes more people.
