well, actually i dont very care about long or short when making a game as long i can learn it 
my first dream is make a survival game. i have made a simple object like home, tree on blender (i’m not good for modelling, even my draw like egg is not an egg) .
i see some game like minecraft or unturned which is FPS game. its great if i can make some like that but on my own style. 
last time i made 2D game with adb flash. but never finished.
umm, where i can tell if the download link for manual C++ was wrong? i download it but when i open it, the manual code is phyton, same with phyton manual. double checked with online manual. its different. i got VIsual C 2010. let’s see. it seem phyton lot like a C#. only different code. (sorry for mumbling)
