My 10 year old nephew has asked me to teach him to make a video game and being the super keen uncle that I am said that I would without the first idea of how to make one. I do have a reasonable knowledge of Visual Basic and so thought I would use that to make something super simple at first and figure he and I can work on improvements from there. When I was a kid they had these books of code that you could just copy onto the computer and you had a simple working game and as you learned more you could alter these and build on the. Does anyone know of anything like that for VB or even C++? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all in advance
