Where should I begin?

Ah. Another cocky, thinks-he-knows-it-all-smart-arsed 13 year old joins the ranks of people who say "I wanna program games! Where do I sign up?". But that''s where the similarity ends. No, I don''t want to code an RPG/MMORPG. Just yet... I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for me to learn C++. I''ve got my grubby little mitts on a copy of VC++6, read some tutorials and now have a few questions: * LINUX Redhat 7.3 or LINUX Mandrake 8.1? * Where can I find some good game programming tutorials? * OOP is important. Is ASM? * What do i need to know about DirectX? And just FYI, I''ve heard "Go home kiddie, this is for adults!" enough to know to ignore it. I''ve been web programming for 5 years. And I''m good at it. I''m familiar with programming so after making my Pong/Tetris/Snake/Space Invaders clones I do eventually want to make an MMORPG (I am familiar with network programming but only as WinSock in VB). Thanks ----------------- Born to be wired!
