Wait, how come you start with 60 points if you can only have 32?

10 in each of the 6 categories means 60.

32 additional?

Nvm. Got it.

No skype either...

I don't have a computer, so I use my Moms, and she doesn't want me downloading anything... Or using her skype... Or making my own...

I think you're still misunderstanding how it works. XD. Nothing can be above an 18 before modifiers. As you add more points to one stat, the cost to add more increases. So it costs 1 point for an 11, 2 for 12, 3 for 13, 5 for 14, 7 for 15, 10 for 16, 13 for 17, 17 for 18.

Similarly you can get more points by lowering a stat.
9 gives you 1 point
8 gives 2
7 gives 4
You can't go lower than 7

10 counts as 0 points. So if I have

15
16
12
9
18
17

The point total is 48
7 for 15
10 for 16
2 for 12
-1 for 9
17 for 18
13 for 17

Essentially, it's costing you the modifier when ever you add a point. A stat starts at 10. I move it up to 13 by spending 3 of my 32 points. I'm still in the +1 modifier range. To make it a 14, I need to spend 2 more points because at a 14, I get a +2 to skills related to that. So 14 costs 5. 15 is still a +2 So another 2 points to make 15, I've spent 7 points. 16 and 17 are 3 each, so 10, then 13, 18 is plus 4, 17.

The easier way to do it used put the stats in the calculator(before race modifier) and if the total is 32, you're good.

Oh... Well I'll change that tomorrow. Sorry about that
You're fine. It's a little different than rolling, but u chose point buy because it avoid the possibility if someone rolling bad stats and I don't need to confirm rolls
