now i want to make a 2d shooting game like metal slug - super mario - contraa

i need help
is there some kind of a code to a game like this
to study the design i tried to search but i coudn`t find any

I think you would like to take a look here:
Game Programming

BUT, as you're new to C++ I think the best step for you to take now is to start learning at least the fundamentals of C++, which you can find right here at Cprogramming.com Tutorial: Introduction to C++

It's VERY good, but if you want to learn it in a "raw" way, consider this > C++ Language Tutorial - C++ Documentation

Then, you can start looking after an appropriate API for what you wish to develope.

I'm telling you these steps because, otherwise, you'd feel like in "LOST"!

thank u i tried to google it but hmmm didn`t find

sorry i mean that i`m new in working with c++
not learning the lang
i have a fine experience in c++
also i`m working with c

but not working with the big project`s with too many classes & functions

i like to learn from other codes
any graphic library
i `m working with vc++2008
thank u

So... take a look at this: Simple DirectMedia Layer
