Need help, total begginer to game programming.

Okay, I need huge help, I''m a 12 year old that knows c++ pretty well, I know it about up to liniked lists, I still have to finish learning about it, oh and just to say, I go by cprogramming.com''s tutorials, and CodeWarriorU, well anyway, I''ve decided to jump into the dangerous to the head world of game programming, and have decided to do a small project, which will also help me with school. Its like killing 2 birds with one stone, in school I have too make a game concerning math, about what I have learned in it, and I get to learn how to make a PC game. Well, I decided to make a 2d or 3d computer game for the project and need help on where too start. I have a friend helping me on this who is about 13 and is in Pointers in C++, so my question is, where do I start? I mean I have no idea at all where too start, do I learn about DirectDraw, or can I use Nehe''s OpenGl tutorials or something. Can anyone help me? I would prefer to make a 3d game, through. (Aye, I did a lotta yappin didn''t I?)

Huh, na I''m using DirectX and a library that does all the hard part so that you can do the actual programming, and thanks for joining the group.^_^

Na, I don''t flame, and I just decided on using DirectX, by randomly picking one, na seriously, I got a good book on DirectX so I don''t need all the tutorials for right know, and I''m gonna learn how to use OpenGl pretty soon, mostly form the almighty NEHE! ^_^

DirectX is a good choice. I am going to get some books tomorrow.

If it wasn''t for C, we''d be using BASI, PASAL and OBOL

What book? As I said in my earlier post, it doesn''t really matter which you use. But using libraries with DirectX is probably a waste of time... which library did you pick?

Learn 1 or the other. I have decidedf on DirectX because a lot of books are written for it. At least at the bookstores near me.

I think it''s much wiser to learn some of both.
