hiya sorry to keep posting what must be trivial questions but i am really interested in learning how to make simple 2d games and maybe one day 3d but at the moment 2d is what im after i read somewhere that a tetris style game should be my first attempt at a game which is fine apart from the fact i have no idea what i need to use. what i mean is i read also that i need to know visualc++ and open gl and im a little confused.i already have started to learn c++ is this the same sort of thing. so in essence could somebody please give me the lowdown on what to use because once i know that i can start to learn and use it.
i thank you in advance
