This is a brilliant idea. If I can start developing a game and get him interested in it, then have him take over development, that might be the way to give him a jump-start into the whole process. I have to say that I'm new to this parenting bit -- I don't *know* what the right naswer is, but it seems that since I've lived with my step-son for almost six years I have an idea what he likes and doesn't like, what he knows and doesn't know. Trying to guide him into doing software development is something that seems to suit his interests (and not just because it's what I like to do), but of course I'm not *sure* by any means. He might actually be better suited to getting a law degree like his Dad, and I've passed along to him what small law books I have for him to read -- but he's just not that interested in devouring books either. Thanks for the feedback.
