So I am almost done with beginning C++ through game programming, and was wondering where i should go next. Is there more i need to learn about the C++ language before I start focusing on gaming? This book has taken me as far as Inheritance and Polymorphism and advanced classes.

Have you created any games so far?

I guess you could probably make an attempt at graphics. Sounds like you have a decent grounding, a good starting place would be SDL. Check out the tutorials in my signature to get started. Maybe you could make a graphical version of tic tac toe

Try running through this tutorial. It will put your newly gained OO skills to use in a real world setting. It uses SFML however, instead of SDL. Then again, personally I would recommend SFML over SDL most of the time anyways, unless portability was your priority.

I don't like that site's coding style at all! Quite vile. Couldn't code like that for a large game code base.

It's code written for clarity and instruction, not to power the next AAA game.

Who said anything about coding like a AAA game, if that even makes sense? You simply won't see production code like that.

I've seen production code much like that...

Tell me who they are so that I don't touch their game.
