    It's entirely possible. However what you are asking is actually quite a tall order - you have to understand quite indepth a lot of techniques.

    I would recommend starting with a book - Game Programming for Teens seeed to be quite a good one (regardless as to whether you are a teen or not). There's also a book called Visual basic Game programming For teens, but unfortunately it's using VB6. Perhaps going to the local bookstore and looking through them.

    Game programming isn't really the very best place to start learning VB if that's your goal. Personally, I wouldn't know how to start writing a game, bu I'd play around with a few ideas then use a pen and paper to sketch out what I want and how it would work (actually, it'd probably be Word and Visio, but you get the point).
