   List of games
  Hello... I was searching for list of games which I should make first, but i didn't find... Well,I need ask you,which games I should make first in c++?   
  Usual progression is something like:text-based mini-adventure gamepongtetris-me   ;  Palidine's layout is nice, but seems somewhat short. I would like to add a few on to his list. 1: Guess the Number game2: Tic-Tac-Toe3: A text based game4: Pong5: Tetris, Breakout, or another game along those lines6: An arcade style game. (Think Galaga/Galaxia, Space Invaders, Asteroids, etc but much simpler. Mine was a simple game like Space Invaders, but 1 enemy per screen)7: Let your imagination run wild! You will want to do many more 2D games to make sure you have a grasp of the concepts before jumping to 3D.*Also* Obviously, you do not *have* to do things in these things, in this order. That is what is so great, and complicated about Game Development. There is no Single path to achievment. You could theoretically start off with a full blown First Person Shooter. (Warning: DO NOT DO IT! I doubt anybody on this forum could have accomplished that as their first project) Good luck, and welcome to the fun world of C++ Game Development! Don't hesitate to ask questions, we normally don't bite. (Though there are exceptions. ;P)   ;  Just about anything but a MMORPG.theTroll   ;  I remember making one or two games using the common Windows dialog boxes and controls.  I think people used to do that sort of thing more often 15 years ago and it's not really considered a step on the game development career path.  But it's something that's frequently overlooked when this sort of question is asked.  Just don't get caught up in trying to learn every detail of Windows programming in the process.  As for when to try such a game, I'd say maybe shortly after your first Hello World program using Win32.
