Hi , hope you undestand my english. The reason... I would like to become a videogame developer, i actually play videogames since im 3 year-old (back in those days, i play commander keen, duke nukem, biomenace, Apogees games ) and is something i love and i would like to do, right now im 15 years old and everytime i tell someone i want to become a game developer they answer whit: "Why dont you study game dev. when you grow up?". But i dont want to wait for being like 18 years-old to start learning or making videogames, my goal right now is to make at least a beta of a videogame before i get 16 years-old. And thats why im here Goals... My goal is a simply 3D game, with graphics like pokemon black/white or Zelda Hourglass Phantom, right now i dont really have an objetive, a good start would be to create an enviroment (maybe a room or a yard) and a character who i can control. But before... I know, i need to sart with the basics, i want to do a pacman clone before or a pong clone, but i dont know how. Right now i know the C++ basics (input, output, arrays, pointers),but the only thing i know how to do is to print in the console So i know the basics, how can i use them, i dont know how to create a simply 2D game like pong or pacman. Can you recommend me tutorials for how to do a simply 2D game, whit libraries and everything? so i can start I have already tried game maker, and i got it. And then... And after all that, i would like to start the 3D game, i have the idea that using opengl and SDL libraries is enought, so am i ok? is that enought, or... do i need more? Also, can you recommend tutorials for a 3D game like i want to do? pleaseee.... Or if someone have experience, as you can see i have lots of questions, so if someone can help with the questions, like a tutor... Thanks

Wow... same age as me, even both of us were learning the same programming language...

Anyway,

Unity does not use C++.

Unity does support users using C++, but ONLY FOR UNITY PRO USERS.

ahh ok that makes sense, thanks for correcting me !
