[gameprogrammer] Re: I want to know Basics about Game Programming

The root?

1) Where to start - Well, I would start like this

Can you draw a box (filled rectangle) on screen?
Can you accept input from the keyboard?

Put the two together - can you move a box on the screen using keyboard
input?

Now make a small box that bounces around the screen and a larger box that
responds to keyboard input.

You're 90% of the way to creating Pong.  Don't write this off as sounding
trivial, if you can make a polished Pong clone then you've already solved
lots and lots of problems!

2) How to start - If you're looking for libraries of code to help with the
above, I'd seriously check out SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) -
www.libsdl.org.
