I am not really at any kind of level to collaborate at this point but possibly in the (hopefully) near future biggrin.png. I didn't mean only C++ forever, just that I want to learn C++ and learn programming using that language and didn't want people to recommend an easier language for me to try instead. Also to answer your question Rip-Off I've started programming a lot more to really get down the syntax and how things work better. I'm taking it slower and programming a lot more.

I made my first game which was tic-tac-toe in C, when I knew only if-else and loop. So its about doing something with what you learn. I am no expert but C++ is not all of game programming, you need to learn some graphics stuff to get the idea about what to do with what. If you know how to draw a rectangle in a certain position of the screen, and you know array, you can make a game like tetris, no OOP or vector required for this aid. Doing graphics stuff is pretty easy because there are libraries like SDL or SFML. I myself is a C++ programmer and learner so I would tell you to stick with it. Though its pain in the butt even to do simple stuffs with it.

I've only been programming for about 2 weeks so I am really at an early stage in my programming development. I do plan on learning SDL later on but I want to really grasp the C++ language before I get into learning libraries. I know C++ isn't all of game programming but that's the place I've chosen to start and plan to stick with it until I really understand the concepts so I can be a useful programmer when it comes to the more complicated stuff. I'd like to thank everyone for answering my questions and helping me out.
