Game programming

[rsobba at kcnet.com]

I am not a gamer but an on again off again home OOP programmer. I need
something to keep my interest up while I am learning. Have any of you done
any game programming? I am wanting to program in C++ and Open GL but am
curious about the graphics end of it. Will I need to create images using a
package like Adobe Illustrator first or is this all done somehow within
Open GL.

Thanks in advance.
