I''m extremly new to game programming, should i be writing a Win32 application or a Win32 Console application? Thanks. Noobster

That depends if you''re new to programming in general or only new to game programming.
If you''re new to programming in general, you should start making some small Console Applications to get the hang for the language and some programming concepts. Starting out with games is quite difficult as you need a at least a basic knowledge of Data Structure, Algorithms etc... (That''s my personal experience. I tried making games without having programmed a lot before and failed. Only after doing some basic applications I was able to get something fun drawn on the screen.
However, if you know how to programm and want to start making games you could go for a Win32 Application directly. Especially if you use something like GLUT or SDL you can forget about the Windows API and focuse on what''s really important.

Ok, first the standard response..

Look at the For Beginners link above that gets you on the start.

Posts like this will usually gather quite a bit of criticism as you don''t tell us what your experience is of programming. All we can assume is that you picked up a copy of VC++ and don''t know whats next. Post more about your skills, maybe we can help more then
