Well, see, the thing is that, at this very second (Dont take me too literally haha), is basically draw something on the screen. Maybe at a later time like next week or next month or next year I will get to all of the stuff that makes a game, a game but right now I want to focus on learning straight up C++ and very, very, very basic Gui/ drawing/coloring stuff.

A game is no different then writing a large piece of software, the only thing that is different is its designed to be game. Their are literally tons of steps you must take before you reach what you can consider a game. My suggestion is you stop focusing on large things, such as a, "mine-craft clone" and start focusing on smaller projects. Not to make you feel bad but it's going to be years, before you get to where you can make a mine-craft clone. Especially if your not even fluent in C++ yet.
