True, but even a playable game is a long way beyond a first-day programmer. (By "playable" I mean something that someone other than its author would play and enjoy.) It's fine as a goal, but needs to be viewed with a perspective of "that's where I'm trying to get to", not "now I'm going to start writing games".
