This formula is probably pretty accurate:
ChanceOfCompletingGame = Experience/(GameTypeDifficulty^2)

I would suggest you start with a somewhat simpler game if you are a newbie. There are some good articles on this topic on this website.

Download id Software''s Wolfenstien source code and take a look at it. You should be able to find all the formulas you need in there.

I think the code''s available in the code vault, or via id Software''s FTP site.

Tigerman: don''t make fun! Battleship was the first game project I actually completed (in Pascal, nonetheless). Even had advanced computer AI. =)
