Ok so should I learn the basics before I do a step by step game design book? or what.

And what is a good book to start C++ game design with.

Basics, most game books assume you already have basic programming knowledge.

Ok will try then... I just hate going through the process of learning it without having something to make along the way... Like I hate them saying oh this is a loop and it can be used for these things but doesn't give you something to make with your new found knowledge I like to make things along the way of learning.

It's called learning.

'Game Design' is not an easy thing to do. It's not even a thing, it's millions of things, and looping is just 1 out of a million. So you don't just learn a little looping and then make a game with it.

If looping is getting you impatient then you need to toughen your brain up because it seems you are going to give up.

That's my opinion.

Lol now that's what I call a first post ^^^.

Dude, trust me...learn the basics first, or you'll get frustrated and just walk away from game programming for a long time. If you want to make games fast, use Flash.

untl you don't master the basics, don't even think about trying to learn something else ;)
