Hi! I am interested in game development and wanna make my own game. I have c++ programming experience. Can anyone give me some advices on the way to start my first game? Should I use a game engine or just use DirectX? If I should use a game engine, which one is the best choice for a beginner like me?
Need advices to get started

Sure. I feel sorry if I broke one of the rules. Could you tell me which one I broke? No offense, I just wanna know how to get started.
You didn't break any rules, FAQ = Frequently Asked Questions... and you just happen to ask one.
You can find a link to the FAQ above the first post in a topic or by clicking here

OK. Thanks for help anyway.
It's expected that you may have more questions after reading the FAQs.
lol. My questions are all listed at #1.
LOL. Your questions have been answered many times before.
I think the guys are recommending game engines for beginners.
Programming your own game engine requires experience.
I can't provide any links though as I'm not into C++.
Search the forums for something like "C++ Game Engines".
I'm sure you'll find lots of info.

Thanks, blackbook. It seems I should use a game engine so I google and found Panda3D. How about it?
I'm a new game programmer too. I find that SDL is a good place to start. It has all the basic things you need... creating a window, image loading, drawing... it's lightweight and very popular!
