Question about game design

[Deleted member 61728]

Hi

I have been learning c++ for quite a while now and am interested in making a tile based/2d game like checkers/chess etc with user input,sound,graphics,etc.

The question is:

Where would be a good place to start ? learning Opengl/Darkbasic ?

What compiler/program to use ?

Also does anyone have any good links/guides on this ?


Thanks
