I'd argue you actually have more done than me because I still haven't done proper GLUT/OpenGL study for C++

Actually I've been using some setup with C++ with something called SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) because I had no idea how to even make a freaking window in C++ like I did in Java. Only using it because I did what pretty much every person that had no idea where to start would do, which was looking up random tutorials on the internet. I've read that SDL can be used with OpenGL though or something, I don't quite remember. I'm probably bad at theory stuff.

I'm actually more used to Java but I wanted to give C++ a try. It's just weird trying to transition because Java has a bunch of built in functions that I'm used to using and I'm not sure how to do similar functions in C++.

As soon as I figure out how to do things in C++ like, Arrays, Keyevents, and loops/timer?, I might actually be able do legit game programming. Maybe.

...Although I'd have to learn how 2D platformer games work. I tried to make one in Java but I didn't know how to make a simple way for me to load block placements that I could edit easily and only managed to make some random controls of jumping in midair infinitely.
