helping the younger generation blog - bdittydog

I just heard my nephew really wants to be a game programmer. Hopefully I can help him out. I feel like I am barely a beginner myself but I have always found things are 10 times as fun when you have someone else there doing it with you. He is kind of young so before I bring him into modding I think I will start him out with some basic programming skills, just until I see where he is at. One place where I had some fun while still learning quite a bit about programming is from the program "The Game Maker." Which is free for the basic version so I think it is a perfect place for me to start him out.
