Did he say he wanted to write a game? No. And it will take much more learning to code a game. Definitley not for beginners.
REALBasic has nothing to do with RealPlayer. I think you are geting confused with REAL Producer Basic which is a tool for producing content with RealPlayer. The two parent companies are totally different. And you can write games with REALBasic, but I agree with tocool4u's comments.
