I just started VB 6.0 like a month ago, and I got some of the basics down about general programming. I want to make games now, and I read an article on this site about were to start. I have absolutely no knowledge about game programming, directX7, or anything worth anything. The article said to make clones of simple games. How do I learn how to program the simple elements that make up these games? (tetris...pong...) Any direction would be helpfull.

Start playing with the search engines. After reading your post I went to www.yahoo.com and tried "visual basic pong directx"... I got 342 hits. Just some highlights (I was skimming, I''m a Dx8, MSVC++ person myself)
http://www.vbgames.co.uk/
http://www.mrdo.com/1.html "VBPong is a full-featured, traditional game of Pong ... Source code is included and it is free."

http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/
http://search-intl.netscape.com/Computers/Programming/Languages/Visual_Basic/Source_Code
The list goes on and on...
Another one with examples right here... just go to your favorite search engine, and ask it.
