Read on Hacker News…st likely has in his head this idea of hacking away at physical lines of code rather than Alice/Squeak/Scratch. I'd suggest BlitzBasic in companion to the fantastic book Game Programming for Teens ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1598635182/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp... ). Blitz is cross platform, extremely easy to dive into, and has a great graphics library. Or, if you want to start him out pure, I'd suggest python/pygame.
Read on Hacker NewsWhoa, I took a look at your website and saw "Game Programming for Teens". It was a book I bought back in high school for fun. Good luck on your search.
