What kind of game?
Windows API game?
Or a simple consol game?

I can help you with the consol game........

I just want to make a pong game, something that will teach me the basics of game programming, like pong. so i guess a console application would be okay.

nehe.gamedev.net

nehe is good for beginners to opengl programming, but if you've just started C++ i would recommend playing arround with making some simple console-based RPGs

have a look at the function in dos.h that holds all the answers to console programming

to make actuall games DX or openGL is really the only choice now.

Well, you can make simple games with GDI, but they wont be anything like DirectX/OpenGL games.

Assuming dos.h even exists with his compiler - chances are that it doesnt.

mmm - i think this i turning into a competition to who knows the most "names of languages" :lol:

. Out of the languages you two have been naming how many of them do you think you could get a professional job for? Also did you just go to a search engine and read a few tutorials on it or actually gone depth into the tutorial?

yeah digital mars does, evben though he shold change to another. and any compilter that doesnt have it is a gay peice of shit. because everyone who learns to make games in gl and dx starts of with dos.h on console

acually i know all of thos languages very well exept c/c++ im still learning.

DOS is kind of dead. If you want to use a game API, use a modern one like SDL.
