Game Developer Start-off

Hey guys,
as mentioned in my introduction I am a Game Developer, in the making. (Pun intended :P)
I have started making a team of people (the earlier you meet people, the more reliable they are later) I have a C++ coder, he seems to be slacking a lot so I want to give him some dates by which he has to have completed certain tasks.

I do not have the skill or experience to be judging what can be done how early on. He has just started learning programming in C++, I helped him make the program where you enter a number in it and it tells you the number you entered.

Can anyone help me, by telling me some things that can be accomplished in C++ programming (prefferably early on in learning) and how long it should take to be able to do it. This way I can set dates for him so he can learn.

Thanks all,
Norak.

Indeed, but not making anything hardcore, just like playing with it form time to time.

Another good thing to start with is Game Maker for developing games, there are some really nice games made from it
