He might want to take a look at the GAME 101 course we are offering here at
JCCC. It is the first course in the new "video game software development"
degree program. I am looking at possibly putting together a course using
GLOP but it won't ready until fall 2005 at the absolute earliest.

Thanks for the info. That's interesting. I don't know how popular game
programming in Perl will become. ;) Unfortunately, GLOP hasn't released
any files yet.
With the type of stuff my son *wants* to write, he'll need to learn C or
C++. Since I'm not much of a C/C++ programmer myself, I haven't pushed in
that direction. I'm still curious to see if he will persevere with the
simple stuff or if he will give up. It seems to me that either you are
born a computer geek or you're not. He doesn't strike me as a computer
geek so far. I don't want to force him down a path he's not built to
travel.
