Hello everyone, I just joined here in hopes to find some answers, and I hope this will answer most of my questions.

So my I have finished C++ programming and just started learning C#, and of course I want to make a simple 2D game using c++. I need someone to point me what engine should I use, what libs etc. And how should I start programming my first game in general.

Thank you for taking your time to read my godawful post :D.

These type of questions are appearing a lot lately but the answer remains the same.

Here are answers to some frequently asked questions for getting started.

More getting started resources, they would give some more insight:

• http://www.gamedev.net/page/resources/_/technical/game-programming/your-first-step-to-game-development-starts-here-r2976 (here at gamedev.net!)
• http://www.gamefromscratch.com/post/2011/08/04/I-want-to-be-a-game-developer.aspx

That's better than writing a complete answer over here.

Good Luck!
