I think gaming is one of the best ways to get someone involved with
programming. That is pretty much how I started out in 1978 with a TRS-80.
I have a 15-year old nephew who can now program in Ada 95. He has a BASIC
background and an interest in writing BBS games. He wanted to try one of
my abandoned Turbo Pascal dialects but I got him to give GNAT for DOS a
try. At first he was discouraged due to installation problems. Then we
tried working together on a conquer-the-universe type game. He came up
with a snazzy title and central theme. We wrote several packages. The
game is 50% done. He had to move across the country two weeks ago. Now I
am waiting for him to get email access so we can continue the development.
We will distribute the game.
