You just managed to create a "Hello World" program, and now you're trying to create an MMORPG? Be realistic. To write a game you need:
  • Be proficient in C/C++. This means you need to know how to write complex classes without runnining to a forum for help.
  • Learn a graphics library such as OpenGL or DirectX. Without them, you'd be forced to write your own graphics library just to draw something like a square. OpenGL and DirectX are a whole new can of worms, though.
  • To write a 3D game, you need to have good 3D math skills. You should be completely comfortable with vectors, matrices, and the like.
  • And the list goes on...

Don't want to discourage you or anything, but I'm just saying you're biting off a bit more than you can chew. Please, PLEASE learn C++ well, and then you can start learning OpenGL (and starting in OpenGL means 2D games, too).

Game programming is complex-- MMORPG's? Incredibly complex and something that is developed with an advanced team of programmers (average game builds usually are slated to last about 2-years, not including testing, marketing, etc)

Game programming can be rewarding and exciting but it can also be a severe challenge (and a headache at times).

Please clarify. What exactly do you want to learn?

Start by learning C++. Learn it well, so you could do it in your sleep. Do C++ every day, post on a C++ forum, memorize it.

Once you've mastered C++, you can decide if you want to choose a branch of programming to study/learn.

See, because if you want to learn game programming, such as OpenGL, you'll need to learn C++, because that is the only way you can use OpenGL. C++ is the base of almost everything you do when you're programming (except for the occaisonal Assembly snippet).

Search Google for "OpenGL tutorials"
