and how are you going to complete the game? Mr. worst prog.
even if you have an engine, there is still the game code itself.

Ah ! you got me right where it counts ! well , you are so right ! What I am going to do ? I don''t have anyone with me on this project, no graphics, no experience , no nothing ... I think I''m gonna first do somthing little like a pong or something, you don''t think so ?

Remember that you have to be at least a competent programmer to understand those books. Good knowledge of C++ is a must otherwise they won''t do you any good.

Well thanks for informing me. I have a basic understanding of C++ and its OOP features but i''m still having troubles with some confusing topics such as pointers ..etc..etc...
I hope i will gain more experience and finally be able to program a game entirely by myself. (keep dreaming man )

Pointers are going to be confusing until you start using them. Do some small excercises just to get a feel for them. Play around, perform an illegal operation or two! I avoided them as much as possible when I learned C. Now that I''m learning C++ I''m really starting to warm up to them. They are really cool, kinda dangerous, and super powerful. Sam''s Teach yourself C++ in 21 Days by Jesse Liberty does a good job of explaining what they are, how they work, and when it''s a good idea to use them.

If you want to make an RPG in the fashion of SNES Final Fantasy and don''t want to learn programming, check out http://rm2k.phantomrpg.com/ for the english translation of a program called RPG Maker 2000, never used it, but the screenshots look like about what you are looking for.
