Wow, Ghost, thank you so much for the reply! And Ania, thank you for sharing your brilliant son! ;-) I will look into the Visual Basic for Kids. I think I ran into a link for GameMaker...It might be an easy first option just to get the game running before we have to learn a whole programming language. I'm such a dummy with this stuff. I learned to program in Basic when I was in junior high, but I never went farther than that. Wish I had!

Thanks again!
