Best Application for Simple Game Development?

(1/3) > >>

nluoma:
I'm interested in creating some simple, (rpg) games for either Windows or the PocketPC. My daughter wants to script one, and have some help putting it together. I know *nothing* about game programming, though I do program (MS Visual Basic, JavaScript, and Flash mostly). Is there anything with a small learning curve that would let her create something simple? (Or rather, let me create something simple. She's only 9, so probably won't do much of the programming.)

mouser:
I love this question.  I don't have much advice to offer but I am keenly interested in what others suggest and in hearing how it works out for you.  Please keep us informed nluoma, I know you aren't the only programmer-parent who is interested in the subject, and I'd love to hear how the project works out.
