What were you working on when you hit the brick wall?
Was there a specific problem or just a feeling that you should be able to do more but didn't know what to do?

If you just want to learn to program, I would stay away from games for now.
Either way, it sounds like you just need someone who can give you hints when you get stuck. If you go the gaming route, any of the major frameworks should have a message board and people willing to help. Ask for their help. Be specific in where you're getting stuck, and most people will be plenty helpful.
If you ever want some to look over some non-game code (like I said, I don't do games), feel free to send me an email. My email address is in my HN profile.
