It is a tall order but my son (12) has asked me several times to teach him
how to write games.  This seems like it would be so much easier on a
commodore 64 (I enjoyed moving sprites around the screen with a joystick)
but as that is long gone I thought i would ask the list what would be a
good way to start.

I am (was) familiar with C, assembler and perl.  I enjoy PIC assembly but I
dont think that would be appropriate for a intro into programming games.

Years ago I attempted Windows programming in C and assembler was just too
much for me.  A case of not able to see the tree for the forest.

Perhaps starting with perl and moving alpha-numerics around the screen to
start with.

Any thoughts.
