Thank you for your very informative answers, both of you! :) It made more sense to me than reading Wikipedia. ;) I'll continue (in a casual way) to learn C++ and start messing around with SDL. Already found some good tutorials. I don't want to paint myself into corners, so I'll be taking the cross-p...

My bad, I meant basics as in fundamental knowledge, and not Visual Basic. Perhaps I was speaking Swenglish. :) Nevertheless, thank you for the link and the list!

Followup question! :) What kind of education do you programmers have? I once got to try out programming in C++, but being more into doodling around with Photoshop and the like I didn't continue. My teacher back then said it'd take me at least two years to learn how to implement graphics in my progra...
