Thank you for replying

As i said i am new to c++,
and i am still learning it in my college.
at the moment i can understand upto all c++ basics and in DS stacks,queus,linked lists,double linked lists,trees(not completely)
i am a student,and in my college education system it is like bookish and for marks sake, i am tired of it.
so i thought of learing c++ computer gaming bymyself.
it would be great if you guide me to learn few topics or provide few links for tutorials

with regards

SFML allows you to load and display images, react to keyboard/mouse input and to play sounds. This library and some C++ basics (the more, the better) are already sufficient to make simple 2D games, you don't need anything else.

Sourceforge has many mirrors, so you might want to try a different one (click on "try another mirror").
