Help a Newcomer

I am a big Gamer and now i want to make my own Games! How do I Start?
Can anybody Suggest some books or programs I can get started on.
By the way, I am a Beginner Programmer,
A Very Basic programmer.

Hello!
Could anybody tell me how to put a single pixel directly to the screen.
(putpixel procedure)

You can use glDrawPixels, but not the best way to puting images on the screen.

A little more on what you are trying to do, maybe you are thinking in 2D when there is a better way to do it.

Good openGL tutors from openGL basics to creating a simple game.

www.gametutorials.com is great also

If you want to program games, you will have to learn a lot more than just graphics mind you. However, if you are looking for some books go to www.gamedev.net or check out my site at:

The site is still under construction, but if you click reading under OpenGL or DirectX, you will get the content you should. It won’t match the color scheme though .

Thank you, but I still don’t know how it works

Well you need to get a compiler, most people use C/C++.
Once you choose what language you wish to program in then we can point to you sites for tutors on openGL with that language.

In the C/C++, borland, DEV-C++, Lcc-win32 are free compilers you can download.

Before you can write a game you need to learn the basics of how to program.
