I've worked at multiple Internet startups of different shapes, sizes and ambitions. Now I'm the CTO (Chief Technical Officer) of another small company with big dreams. I look nothing like the picture above.
If you copy and paste your homework question in here, I will answer with something that will, at best, get you an F on your project, and at worst, will get you kicked out of school. You have been warned.
If we're talking about a Web context, the elements Javascript is concerned with are HTML elements: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_element
Those elements make up the browser's internal representation of a page, and mostly they correspond to an HTML tag on the page and whatever stuff is inside the tag. For example:
<p>This "p" tag indicates a paragraph of text.</p>
By manipulating the elements, Javascript can change what's displayed on the page. That ability is what made possible, over the past 10 years or so, all the fancy special effects that became standard on Web pages.
You can write a game in Delphi perfectly well. (I think. I don't actually know Delphi, but last I heard it's a general-purpose language).
Except in a few specialized applications, "What language should I use to write X?" is not the right question to be asking.
I don't know exactly how Visual Basic encourages you to organize projects, but if everything is under one directory, there are programs built specifically to take a directory tree and pack it neatly into one file so that you can easily send around that one file. I hear that 7Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) is pretty good.
This is programming in here, tech support is down the hall, third door on the right.

I'm assuming this is C, which is what it looks like, anyway. Try leaving out that "int" so that the line reads:
c = gah(d);
You need the type when you're declaring or defining a function, but not when you're actually using it.
Well, you have to have SOMETHING besides an idea to bring to the table: ideas are cheap. I used to set myself an "idea quota" each day, where I'd require myself to think up and write down ten ideas for a project every day. That's a lot of work at first but after a week or two they come very easily.
If you know, for example, how to run a small business, or how to sell things to people, or even how to MANAGE a technical project (which is a very different skill than working on one as a developer), that would be good.
