If you are not very familiar with C++ (or Euphoria for that matter) I would
actually recommend something else completely.  While I love all these
languages (and also direct assembly) game programming is high level stuff.
You have to know *alot* about drawing interfaces, sprites, animation,
media, loop optimizations, hardware acceleration, etc etc...

Its a daugnting task even for accomplished programmers.

However, I have been (for years now) very very happy with Game Maker from
Mark Overmars.  Its a first rate program that can make game coding a snap,
and its free to boot.
