Basically you now need to find info or libraries that allow you to control the hardware. SDL is a good starting point and depending on what you want to do might be all you need, but it will definitely allow you to learn the basics of making a game. It is available for windows and linux, but I am not sure about dos. Beyond SDL the simplest 3d library to use is OpenGL, which works on both windows and linux and SDL lets you use fairly easily. If you want to learn the most complicated system out there, and you are using windows then directx is the way to go. A simple google search should give you heaps of game programming tutorials and howtos.

HII am Azeem Zaheer.I have been learning C++ for almost more than one year.I think I have mastered all the things including object-orientedprogramming.But I still cant figure out how can I make a game. Do I have to learn Windows or Dos Programming necessarily? What I am really asking is that what does a person with a strong C++ base has to learn to make a game,no matter 2D or 3D.Thanks in advance.------------------------------------------------------------------------Explore the seven wonders of the world Learn more! <http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=7+wonders+world&mkt=en-US&form=QBRE>
