Try some simple games even in the console first, guess the number, tic tac toe, hangman. etc. if these are too easy do something more complicated with some graphics API, be it a game engine or simply DirectX/OpenGL. Try making pong, breakout, simple games, then maybe more complex games, Tetris, 2D slide scroller?

Eventually when you feel up to it and enough mathematical understanding try learning 3D..

I would recommend you start with some simple game engines, SDL, Haafs Game Engine, Irrlicht, Ogre3d, XNA.

Or learn a graphics API, DirectX, or OpenGL.

what you mean by console first? you mean in dos?

@DevLiquidKnight Thank you very much for the replies ! , where i can download ebook tutorials for c++ OpenGL and DirectX?
