I have finnaly finished the book I was reading on C++ (Beginning C++ Game Programming) and I am wondering what I should do next. The book I read had nothing about graphics or sound and I am looking to mabye start making some simple 2D games? I would like any book recomendation or what I should do next. Thanks, Eric.

I would recommend Beginning OpenGL Programming. It's the simple stuff in better detail. OpenGL is pretty friendly and the 3d aspect isn't too hard to grasp. Especially if you're in high school/college. I hear the book is good; however, I myself don't own it.

We should do this the Microsoft way: "WAHOOOO!!! IT COMPILES! SHIP IT!"

Also SDL. You can use OpenGL with it, or it's own 2-D graphics library. It has built-in facility for sound and input too. It will let you write a game without having to learn windows programming.

Thanks for your help. I will look into both openGL and SDL.
