Creating a first game
I have been programming in c++ for about 6 monthes now and I am wondering how I should start if I would like to make games. If anyone has any ideas on where to start, any information would be helpful. I have looked through different programs and have found it a bit overwhelming. I am currently using VC++ and would like to keep using that if it is at all possible.

For getting started in game programming, the SDL is not a bad choice. It has a simple interface and it's very portable (it's on such diverse platforms as Windows, Linux, MacOS, PSP, iPod, etc.).
I'd advise you to download the DirectX SDK, and start going through the tutorials. Aside from the occasional tutorial that hasn't been updated in years, they're rather easy to work through, and help you learn alot of the API.
If not that, Irrlicht and Ogre have some good documentation as well.
