Incidentally if you ever find you miss coding, there are plenty of modern languages that are much easier than C++, which is pretty much the most complicated one you could have picked.

I'd like to add: a language that may be more up the OP's alley is Blitz3D, a BASIC dialect for games that's recently become free and open source: http://www.blitzbasic.com

Yeah that looks pretty cool.

A more mainstream option would be python. The free courses at udacity.com would be an easy way to get started.
