    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?

    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;
