Notepad is a text editor and not a compiler....
You will need to learn a pogramming langauge that can compile.
For simple games like breakout and pong you can use DarkBasic or BlitzBasic which are very easy to learn. You can use C/C++ but without any programming experince it will be very hard.

Notepad is used to create test files.
You could use Notepad to create a game by reading out the code and instructions for the game in text format, and then compiling it to assembly language so the computer can run it.
But you woul need to decide what computer programming language you want to use, become familiar with the syntax and commands in the language, create the program, and then have a compiler of some sort to run the finished ocde.
Learn a language, install a complier, and you are ready to go....

Game servers where you gain items that can be used in other matches, like WoW and other MMO's, are run only by the company that makes the game. You can typically only set up your own server for games that start over with nothing every match, like first person shooters that are 32 players and end within a little while before starting a new match with everyone back to where they started. Games like Unreal or Counterstrike Source. Anything with a monthly fee is dependent on company run servers, that is what you are paying for, and keeps things as fair as possible by letting the company police the players..

No. Learn a programming language. Or download an open source pong/breakout game and take a look. Sitting around and saying I'm bored isn't going to help. Unless you expect that knowledge to enter your head automatically, or someone to tutor a lazy person for free.

lol, if you're bored. go play one of those online flash game. i'm sure theirs a breakout/pong version of it.
why bother trying to create a new one when you're only looking to copy and paste the code. no different than it being already made for you to just download and play.

look up how to program a simple game in C++. then paste that code into notepad, save it as a .cpp, load it into any c++ compiler, and compile it.
