I don't want to sound like a showoff but I am 12, I can probably code better than most of you, I have a company, and I am currently developing a Nintendo DSi Game Maker... Teach the kid how to ACTUALLY Program, not any crap like Game Maker.

Thats just my opinion.

i'm 11 even though i started making this game since i was 10 it's called hidden Elements, it's me (programmer in vb6) and my friens (of which i have trained)

HE Rocks, don't ask why...

VB isn't very good for making RPG games unless you use DirectX.

The Games Factory (TGF) or MultiMedia Fusion (MMF) are quite good.

Kids love RPG Games, and there's nothing better than RPG Maker XP.  There are "Illegal" downloads out there for it, and pleanty of resources, or you can purchase the software from Enterbrain (Which would be a great XMAS present for any kid who wants to make very customized video games).

I never was good at programming, then I picked up DarkBASIC, from the game creators-http://www.thegamecreators.com/ - they specificly built programming languages just for Game Development.There are several other things that they make, like the 3D Gamemaker and FPS Creator, all of which are drag and drop game builders. If you want the programming interface, for VisualBasic -> DarkBASIC DarkBASIC Pro(many a famous games made with this) PlayBASIC OmegaBASIC

C++ -> Dark Game SDK



There are demos for all there products, and you can also get software to make media for your games, also, there are forums there, and everybody is happy to help you! - and they are clean

There is commands for a codecompiler for more advanced games. The coding language is way easier than basic.

That's cool I will take a look at that software. I tried Games Factory but was not impressed. It's very cumbersome and awkward. I am hopeing to get him coding a little. Part of my motivation is to get him interested in the computer beyond games but a point and click is probably the best place to start at his age.

Thank you both. You'll hear from me again as this project develops I'm sure.

Hmm, the ABSOLUTELY easiest way to make a video game is by usin Game Maker 5.3A, no doubt about that.

Thats perfect for beginners like a 10years old. No need of any skillz, just drag and drop.



Hope this helps.
