noob at programming, i have some questions

hello, i have never done any type of programming before, but i want to learn. i tried learning c++ before but it confused me. im trying to learn again now, i will proabably learn if i keep trying. i had some questions though. im interested mostly in game programming, and i want to know if its possible to import 3d models/ 2d sprites, and their animations, into c++. and how long does it usuallly take to make a game? i would have posted this in the game section but i need help running the hello world program (im such a noob lol). here is the code i wrote, i tried to do it from memory.

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {

cout << "hello world";
waitkey ();
END_OF_MAIN }

my compiler tells me that the error is in the waitkey line, i tried doing several things to that line but i dont know what i am doing wrong.

and what would be a good way to improve my logical thinking?

Hey there,
Replace the line w

Sorry about my missclick,
Replace the line with a error with
cin.get();

thanks tht worked , waitkey was from another language. but now "hello world" wont show.

it should after you press enter, but you won't see it unless you actually have a console window (assuming you're running in a gui environment) open and you typed the command. cout's output stream isn't getting flushed. try the following:

Code:

cout << "hello world" << endl;
