Game programming

[GSquadron]

Hello guys!
I want to learn game programming for a period of time and i know where to start!
C++ --> Sdl and Allegro
But the question is... These two are the only ones?
I want to make a 2D game and i want to learn as much as possible before making the game
(and sharing it free as last time! )
So if anyone can help at least with sources (i mean tutorials) of allegro or sfml, or even suggest a new game engine,
but with tutorials so i have enough time to learn a lot instead of researching for tutorials, that would be GREAT!
Any help would be aprechiated!

What kind of game, actually? It might help those in the know to help you.

Well, I want to make a platformer this time (like super mario)
It is too early to start rpg like final fantasy 1

For a platformer, look up the separating axis theorem. It's what pretty much all games use for collision detection. Use that with some basic physics (projectile motion) and you'll have a simple platformer.

Many 2D games are sprite based which is relatively easy to code and animate. You could probably even write you own little game engine without too much trouble as a lot of the functions are built into the languages now days.

My first ever grapphical game was a pseudo-3D hallway shooter. It was going well until the collision detection algorithm pushed me over the 16K VRam limit on my TI-99/4A
