I would like to teach a 7 year old how to solve a rubiks cube.

Yes, I know there are a thousand websites that can teach this, but I would also like to make it a programming question for him.

I would prefer VB, for he is 7 years old.

Is there a walk through that anyone is aware of?

Are you really sure to make your nephew study VB first and not the basic languages like C or C++??

I found this[^] with google. What does your question have to do with asp ? Do you care if it's VB6 or VB.NET ? There's a VB.NET tag.

I am also teaching my nephew how to code VB, I thought a VB.Net/Rubiks Cube Solution may interest him.
(Although he is so easy to teach, he, like me, is slightly aspergic, so knowledge is sponged up swiftly).

YES VB VERY EASY TO UNDERSTANDING
I'm risking to get a lot of down-votes now, but I don't care — my warning is more important.

Please, have a mercy for a little child: don't let starting from VB (not matter what kind) happen. Imprinting is a terrible thing. You're risking to kill the ability to learn any programming from the very beginning and make a kid one of those brainless VB "programmers" completely closed for learning anything.

Also, please understand that a Rubik Cube is extremely complex object to start programming with. The starting tasks should be much more simple.

I agree, go Python or Ruby

Not a bad idea, easy enough to start. There are also some languages for children I'm not well familiar with. Anyway, the approaches are really very far from VB, fortunately. I have an impression that MS forced VB to distract people from competing with Microsoft in application development. Now this "goal" is not actual but some people stuck to it.
