Hi all,
I'd really appreciate any tips/advice. I learnt to programme on a Sinclair Spectrum, my DB and I had loads of fun entering the commands and running programs (there was a booklet that showed you how to do it iirc).
Anyway, DS is insistent he wants to learn how to write video games. I told him it's very complicated and we'll need to teach him programming. Sadly, my geeky potential was never fulfilled, and I now am very, very un-computer literate (beyond the real basics).
Would a raspberry pi be helpful? Or is there stuff he can do that's basic on my Dell laptop? I really don't know where to begin, so would appreciate you talking to me in words of one syllable!
DH is a little more literate, but could use some guidance too. Am hoping to get DBIL involved over Christmas, as I recall he used to "build" computers and do all sorts of exciting things as a teen.

Do I need a Raspberry Pi or can DS learn programming another (easier) way
