I didn't say I like C++ because it's good for game hacking, you can hack games with any language... I like it because it's strong and fast, I could code something in C#, I just don't like .NET.
Programming isn't only about hacking, unlike most of the people here think, you gotta know how to solve programming problems and devise efficient algorithms and not doing stuff the easiest way you can find.
In my opinion it doesn't matter in what language you write your algorithms, as long they're efficient and working, but as for programming tools and stuff, definetly C++, if you like C# better it's fine, I'm just saying C++ is way better, faster and can do much more than .NET.
By the way, if you want to solve some programming problems, http://ProjectEuler.net has some nice problems, you must devise efficient algorithms in order to solve these, or else it might take hours if not days to solve. use math to improve your algorithms.

Another question.
Do I learn Visual C++ or just C++?

no Visual C++ is not C++. Visual C++ is managed c++. I use the Visual C++ IDE but win32 C++ code/libraries.

If you have decided on using C++, start with the Win32->Win32 Project template, avoid using CLR->Windows Forms Application (Managed C++), if you want a drag n drop interface use ResEdit, try an MFC project or switch to C#.

Visual C++ is not a language, it's an IDE and may refer to using native or managed code. It is very common for newbies to confuse the language they are programming in with the IDE they are using.

I choose C++ because I wanted to continue onto making games.

It is misleading then that microsoft's books on Visual C++ 6.0 refer to only CLI code. I refer to c++.net as visual C++ because thats the aura that microsoft put on it in books and on the website.
