Learning game-programmation

[Mareg]

Hi there,

I'm interested in self-learning the basics of game programmation. I am no artist, so I am looking foward to some package that would provide arts/sounds. Something that would introduce me to game oriented programming. I already know many programming languages but never was in a game oriented project.

Is there something for me ?

Thanks.

start with pong, pacman, asteroids, any of the old atari 2600 games, that way you really dont have to worry about graphics/sounds

i think those though give you the general gaming aspect then you can build physics into them and logic engines for ghosts(in pacman)

There is no fundamental difference between any other type of programming and game programming. Learn to program, then apply those skills to games.
