Hello, I've a question
I'm 12 years old and i'm still new, i wanted to make games for Computers, i've mastered Warcraft III GUI encoding and a lil' bit of JASS, i'm bored of Warcraft and i wish to make games with C++ Code, is it possible for me to learn and is there any tutorial, sry if i posted this in a wrong section, i'm stil new and i' haven't adapted to the preview of the site o,o
Yes! Absolutely!
Be warned, however, that learning to program takes a lot of work, and you must want to do it. Also, game programming in particular is very difficult (but worth it, obviously). This isn't something you will learn overnight.
Start out with the tutorials on this site to become familiar with C++.
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
You might also want to play around with SDL in PyGame
http://www.pygame.org/
When you are done playing with python and SDL you can use SFML
http://www.sfml-dev.org/
which is a very nice, object-oriented, C++ library for game graphics and audio.
You seem to have a good start with the WOW III stuff. Good luck!

Thanks!It motivated me!
I always WANT to learn programming code! to make games and earn money for my family ^^
is there any program specialized in C++?
I think it will take 2 weeks or a month for me to learn C++ like learning Warcraft III Triggering!
And if there is a program (free ones, coz i don't have money..)
that allows me to do some GUI stuffs, it'll be cool!

Don't be too disappointed if it takes a little longer. Most of us are still learning after many years... ;o)
Hehe... Mind you that learning to set up Warcraft 3 trigger-activators is something else than learning a full blown programming language (one of the harder ones, at that).
Could you rephrase this question? ;)

If you simply mean something that will allow you to program in C++, then yes, they called IDEs. An IDE is simply a text editor, with a compiler (allowing you to run code), and other tools to aid you. Here is a good rundown of different IDEs and compilers available: http://www.cplusplus.com/articles/chrisname1/
As for learning the language, you can use the tutorial on the site (linked by Duoas) or find one of the many books. Here is a link for some good C++ books: http://www.cplusplus.com/articles/Book_Of_Brilliant_Things/
C++ game programming and GUI programming is very difficult. If it's what you want/love to do, then even if it's a struggle you should enjoy the experience.
