Hmm yeah but I think that I've explained the whole thing in a kinda bad way. With game loop I mean: I start doing this and that... now... how can I set my game to "go to the next level?". What if my pg dies? And so on...[/quote]
Well yeah, it shows a way to do it. I suggest you try to undestand the intensions of the tutorial i mentioned. Then you think about how you would do it, do it and then see how it worked out.
I would not think about how you go from one level to another when you don't have one level.

E: another tutorial worth looking at may be: http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/index.php
If you work without SDL you can skip the SDL specific explanations. Here is also an introduction to tools you will make/need like Timing in games, caping frames and so on. Very basic and easy to understand tutorial in my opinion.

• The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup (You will learn nearly everything ;) )
  
• Effective C++ by Scott Meyers (Great book about best practise)
  

• Design Patterns by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides (A superbible)
  

• OpenGL SuperBible by Richard S. Wright, Jr., Nicholas Haemel, Graham Sellers and Benjamin Lipchak (My favorite OpenGL book)
  

• Game Engine Architecture by Jason Gregory (Best book about engine design ever, explain game loops a little too)
  

So... C++ with a media library such as SDL.Then I'll move to platform specific environment. :-)
