What is the best way to teach my 10 year old how to create a computer game?

Larry asked:


My 10 year old is a pretty good student so he can probably grasp concepts slightly beyond his age. And like most kids, he has been playing computer/video games for a while now. He likes Runescape and Star Wars Lego II. He recently has expressed interest in creating his own game. I’d like to encourage this without overwhelming him with too advanced of a programming language. Logo seems out of date. Not sure what else is out there. An example game he would like to put together is a computer chess or checkers game with graphics. I was thinking of “Samuel’s Checkers” for the strategy part. No clue on the graphics/language.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

How to stop office people playing a computer game?

Upul C asked:


I want to stop people in our office playing a particular computer game which does not need to install to play. They can play the game just double clicking the .exe file. Our network is a Windows NT domain and all the client computers have Windows Xp as OS.

I want to stop this using local group policy or from any other way.
This is a small offline game. I removed them from all computers, but they have saved them in diskettes, pen drives and running them using those. This does not need to install..

Where can I return an unopened computer game without a receipt?

munchimom asked:


My in-laws sent my son a Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince computer game for his birthday. He already got the same game for our Wii so we’d like to exchange it. My in-laws didn’t include a gift receipt and I feel awkward asking for one. Which stores would exchange it without a receipt. Better yet…give him cash for it? They said they got it at a Mac store. Has anybody had success there or at any other retailer?
