If that's the goal I'd recommend one particular book: Beginning C++ Game Programming. It takes a learner through C++ basics with game programming in mind. Very good one if y'ask me, and you've had some C++ already anyway.Originally Posted by edyzmedieval
Then after that I'd recommend using C++ and some game library of your choice. Maybe Allegro, or SDL, or other ones you can find. I happen to have a list handy here I bookmarked: http://abattoir.wolfpaw.net/personal/gamelibs.php .
You could also check out Pygame (if that's what it's called). I've heard good things about it.
