Were do I start. What I wont to do is be able to make 3D games. I know some C++ but not very mutch. So what do I need to start leaning what kind of stuff do I need.

This is completely insane, this is like the 8th guy in a week in a half, got to be a record
-Forget about 3D until you have a pretty good grasp on C++.
-Then look into SDL
-Then begin 3D with OpenGL

The typical response to this is: Just post your questions on the forum.
im just saying it taks longer on the forum
A correct answer that might take a few hours (how long did it take MadCow to reply?) is much better than risking taking an incorrent answer. You might also get further explanation on the forum, and most likely a better one too. As well as different perspectives (infinite loops for example). If you're misinformed on these forums, it's most likely going to be corrected.
If you're that desperate though, http://gamedev.net usually gives quicker replies (game wise at least, I've seen some not-so-great C++ replies there).
Yeah, the amount of these topics in the past few days is ridiculous.

Maybe everyone made a new year's resolution to learn C++/make a 3D game, without realizing the effort involved?Yeah, the amount of these topics in the past few days is ridiculous.
Well, its more that they didn't realize there are at least 4 related topics on page 1/2, and too many to count in this forum titled "start game programming", "graphics programming", and "where to start".Originally Posted by ruthgrin

Code:Error W8057 C:\\Life.cpp: Invalid number of arguments in function run(Brain *)
It's not bad that new people want to learn. What *is* frightening is their apparent lack of effort and/or realization of the fact that game programming is not easy nor for the fainthearted.
that, and the fact that if you tell people they're not ready for it, you face heat from others saying you're "too harsh", and should take the time to help...
