I feel like I'm ready for the next step

[RAWBERRY]

I feel like I'm at the point where I have a good grasp on logical programming, and would like to move on to the next step of learning C++. I would preferably like to get into game programming. I have bought a few books on C++ game programming, but I feel like a lot of it is still over my head. I understand that there are most likely other steps I need to take before getting into something such as game programming, and I would love to take these steps. However, just what these steps are, I am not sure of, and am looking for a helping hand to point me in the right direction. Is there some sort of standard I need to meet before I am ready to progress? I have never enjoyed something as much as I have enjoyed programming, and I want to do everything I can to learn.

TL;DR I feel like I understand logical programming well enough and would like to move on. Where do I turn, and how can I be sure that I am ready.

Thanks for any help!

If you want to get into game programming, start programming games. Don't beat around the bush, just do it.

Get a game lib (I recommend SFML: http://www.sfml-dev.org/ ) and get cracking. There are tutorials on that site. It's easier than you think.

Just keep it simple and take steps you can handle. Don't expect to make a masterpiece right away.
