Hi there, my big dream has always been to be a game programmer since i first got my hands on mario for nintendo 8 bit. But i''m kinda lazy so it never got that far :D I''ve been programming Visual Basic for the past couple of years. I have a basic knowledge of C/C++. I know what OOP and stuff is. So i have a question, where should i start? Of course i have read the Start here tutorials but they mostly only tell you which compiler you need etc. If anybody knows some good online (dont have to much money for books ) tutorials for a start. Tutorials that explaing how to for instance make tetris (for a base start, not to make a game that has been done 100000 times ). I would appreciate it if you could point me to some. Thx a lot for your help

ya, well I have 6 books. 2 by LaMothe I think were the most diapointing. Half of the books talk about stuff that most people already know. (the second half is usually good, but not worth $50) The best book I own is The OpenGL Superbible second edition. why do I say books are not needed, well some are to get started, but many books are already online for free. www.informit.com I think.
