supercoder, just btw by siccors i think u mean scissors (or was it a pun of somesort)
btw a good game to make is any classic board game - do the logic then take pictures of the board/paste it
Hello World
the real hello world of game programing is ofcourse random number guessing.
in ofcourse, the real hello world languge, python, not to say that it's a noob languge, just saying that it's easy to pick up and does what you want it to without any tricks :D

import randomrand = random.randint(1,10)guess = input('guess a number between 1 and 10: ')if guess == rand: print 'congratulations, you guess right!'else: print 'sorry, try again'

Thanks for all the replies, im a second year in CS so i am familiar with standard C and C++ and am interested in the display of graphics and using the more non standard libraries in the wintel enviroment. I can do rand guessing and have made some small games such as that as well as some text based games (very small but they compile and work :) ) .
again thanks for the replies.
again thanks for the replies.
thats the problem with formal education, you don't have a chance to explore and form conclusions on your own.
if your actuly in second year uni and asking a question like this, you need some major work on programing. spend about a year programing on your own.
if your not, the first logicaly step would be learning a graphics API.

I'd say tic tac toe or pong are good. Tetris is more complex as is breakout etc... PacMan, tetris, breakout, are good for second games in my opinion.
I think pong is the direction i want to go anyone know where i can find the source for pong or something similar to it.
as for the state of my education it is mostly focused on algorithms and analysis, i can for instance make a tree stucture that loads a DB file into memory and assigns the entries to a tree structure. but putting a background image in the console window is outside my education.
im not a huge fan of python but i am familiar with it. my intro to programming class was done in python my data structures was done in C and my current programming class is C++.
I have some simple console games you can download. http://fire.prohosting.com/ride9736/
