Hmmm.....
Well, let's run throught the list, shall we:
- Do you go to school? If so, is an after school job at all possible?
In the United States, a modest newspaper route brings in $100 - $200 per month on average. Also, doing odd jobs for neighbors is a possibility. Work at a fast-food restaurant for a month might pay the bill. Many options here.
- Do you have relatives, like grandparents who can afford such a gift if you asked them and did a presentation like Jazz described?
- Run a non-profit fund drive for yourself. See what the school will allow, perhaps a bake sale or something?
- Perhaps acquiring an educational grant of money from the state or country.
- Offer a sponsership arrangement to friends, family, fellow students, etc. = they pay you a small amount of money per person and you create games which they can play. Or even better yet, make a simple but fun game right now for pocket PC's and sell it on sites such as Handango or other Pocket PC software sites. This option, you would be exporting the game from GE as an .exe
Hopefully this helps get you started.
