    Most game programming is done in C but you can do some in VB.

    Checkout microsoft web site for tutorials.

    Also there is a decent book called " Visual Basic Game programming for Teens"

    Consider a simple game that you can already make with your existing skills. Games don't always have to be fancy graphics programs they can be text based. Consider a simple hi lo guessing game where a random number between 0 and 100 is determined by the program. The game counts how many guesses you take to guess the correct value.

    Or

    Use arrays to create a virtual deck of cards and then shuffle it. This can be a building block for other card games. But a simple card cutting game can be made where you use a vevertical slider to determine where in the card deck you choose to cut. You can then have the program cut at a random point and compare two card values to see who wins.

    These may sound like trivial games but they do help teach simple programming skills that you will use in other programs.

    Ive tried VB last year but I only took it for 4 months...

    Games that you may be able to make would be like a game show such as who wants to be a millionaire...but its kinda difficult if u are a beginner...

    you may search for some tutorials, the net has a lot to offer...

    try this site...

    thats no longer so. you may make a sport in any language. develop your definition of sport. while i replaced into youthful, video games have been in basic terms text fabric based. this style of sport could be trivial to enforce in seen elementary.
