Making a game
Where can I find a good tutorial? The one on the website is nowhere near as descriptive as a game making tutorial should be.
Haha.
Be a bit more specific. Are you making a graphical one, or are you trying to do make a game in the console window?

If you are looking for something with graphics then I suggest you check out SFML:

It's a really great library. I love using it. As for the tuts, I found this one on the web(Pong Game):

Enjoy, and Good Luck!

Wanna make a simple cross platform game NOT a console application. All the tutorials I see are console applications.
Here's a definition of a console application
... I don't think SFML runs in the console window does it?
| A console application is a computer program designed to be used via a text-only computer interface... |

Cross platform? Why not just use Java then? No work needed to make it cross platform, and it has some nice build in GUI libraries. If you don't know, Java is pretty similar to c++, just dumbed down essentially.
You are right, SFML does not run in the console, it runs in a window, and based on that alone it will only work on windows computers. But if that is not an issue that i would firs recommend learning how to program in windows.

This is a VERY good tutorial about how to make windows

Why don't you just Google "C++ game source code" and pick one of the hundreds of links yourself???
You are obviously a newbie, so giving you some 20,000 lines of source code will only make you want to quit. Learn something like OpenGl, SFML, or something and then ask a specific question, like "how do i rotate this ..." or something. What you want is very broad. Any of the tutorials we provide would require knowing one of these, if you don't know them it is like asking how to write a game in Assembly without actually knowing how to program in assembly. So if you are looking for some copy-paste code then you are out of luck, because games are a whole lot more complex then that. Whereas if you know how to program in a specific graphics language like the ones I just mentioned then we can talk, but your question is to broad for a newbie.

Okay, here is a tut-ori-al.
It is for SFML.
If you want something specific. Please tell us what you plan on using!

I am 12 years old. So yes, I am a noob. I just want a link to a good C++ tutorial that will lead to developing games. Thanks for the help CodeAssassin.

Haha, sweet man. If you need any help, just shoot me up an email:
EDIT: Email Taken Away :L
I'd be glad to help a fellow programmer :]
