I haven't looked through everything there, but this site looks like a good resource (tutorials plus tons of links to other sites).  Also, a lot of the sites I found mentioned Allegro is good for C/C++ game making.  (note that I really don't know anything about making games in C++ and these recommendations are just based on looking around the site)

metagross111:  Please try and stay on topic.

josephmarin: I love your sig

his sig was in his topic post, therefore, on-topic.

besides, if you're gonna quote something, it's polite to represent it correctly

Oh, you were talking about the typo ("focuaing " should be "focusing").  Sorry, I thought you were commenting that the sig itself was wrong.  But it's still off-topic.

"Real programmers use butterflies. They open their hands and let the delicate wings flap once. The disturbance drifts upwards, changing the flow of eddy currents in the upper atmosphere. These cause momentary pockets of higher-pressure air to form, which act as lenses to deflect incoming cosmic rays, focusing them to strike the drive platter and flip the desired bit."

^^ here is teh correct quote, word-for-word

as for C++, I'm still a student of it, lol. sorry I cannot help

I haven't done any C++ game programming in a while, but when I did, I mostly used SDL for graphics and stuff.  It is meant for 2-D graphics, but it works well with OpenGL if you want 3-D graphics later on.

There are also some libraries that work with SDL to extend its features, such as SDL_mixer to extend its audio capabilities, SDL_image for loading more types of images, and a few others here (mainly the ones prefixed with "SDL_").

I remember using mostly this and some other page/document that I forgot (it may have been something bundled with the SDL download) to help me learn how to use SDL.  You can visit here, here, and here for more tutorials and documentation.

I'm also pretty sure that both OpenGL and SDL work with C and C++.

EDIT: And also, this gives a decent introduction on using SDL.

Lastly, I recommend checking out Code::Blocks to use for your IDE.  It has built-in templates to help you use libraries like SDL.  You should probably use the latest nightly build here, as the official release hasn't been updated in over a year, I think.  Be sure to read How to use a nightly build first.
