RE: Would I be able to make a game?
- VB isn't a free tool.
- VB is programming language, not a graphics editor
- You will need a lot of learning! And I suggest you start with some much easier very small projects before attempting to pull this "game" off (eg: make some form where pressing a button shows some text on the form, etc...).

Although this "game" is extremely easy to make (for people who know programming), you still need knowledge of several programming concepts and other stuff. Stuff which many people take for granted, but is actually knowledge and stuff you need to learn too, making this project not so easy for a 'first timer'.

eg: arrays(!), random numbers, windows forms and dialogs, fonts, etc... and since this will be a foreign language specific application you also need to know a bit about Unicode and how it is implemented in VB (or whatever programming language you choose) if you choose to use fonts to represent the characters. If you choose to use graphics to represent the characters, you need to learn also a bit about graphic handling and use of resources.
