I just finished my very first game. It''s not perfect but it is complete. And it''s not something I would show to anyone, just cause some of the implementations were band-aid solutions. (YUCK) Just something that I started out to do, and I have done it. IT FEELS AWESOME!!!! Well if you are curios, it''s a worm-type game, the one on most cell phones. No, it wasn''t hard, and I did it with just the Windows Console and ASCII characters. This freed me from worrying about stuff I don''t really need to know now, and was such a simple thing that I did it over the weekend. I used dynamic memory, linked lists, classes, and some recursion. You might be wondering what the hell does a little game like this need these some-what moderately advanced techniques but I thought they appropriate. Plus this is the first time I did all of these in C++, I have only worked with Java before. If you are indeed really really curious, I used linked lists for each part of the tail of the worm, where everytime it eats a character, it would be added to the tail, and I used recursion to go through each part of the tail and update the movements. Well, thanks for reading. If you need me, I will be busy coding a much better version.

Congradutions on your first game. Everyone''s gotta start somewhere.. and i''m sure that you learned a lot along the way, The important thing is to have fun, learn what you can, try new things, and improve your skills.

Although there are a number of programmers on this board in particular, you''re in a very elite group of people... not many people have ever made a game, especially when you look at it from a percentage of the world''s population

Anyway... keep it up... next one you do.. take it a step further.
