Game development is one of the most difficult areas of C++ development.
You need to read(and understand) the entire C++ tutorial on this site(Although you should get a book).
Once you understand the basics of the language, you can start learning a library like DirectX, SDL, SFML, or OpenGL.
Good Luck!

I completely disagree.
If you're trying to make something crazy complicated, then yes game development is hard, but making quick peon games like galaga clones or the like are not so difficult.
I started C++ with the desire to make games and I dove right in. It's not nearly as hard as people make it out to be.
Install SFML, read the tutorials and start making simple things like having an image that you can move around the screen with the arrow keys. Then make it animate. Then put enemies on there. Then make it detect when enemies hit the player, etc.
Start small and build up. SFML is extremely user friendly and I'd argue it's even beginner friendly.
The hardest part you'll have with SFML is installing it and getting it set up.

I agree. The point I was trying to portray is that if you don't know the syntax of the language, you shouldn't try to create a game.
I have edited my post to clarify that.

I agree with Vexer - it's almost vital to understand the syntax first before diving in. SFML may be user-friendly, but as it is quite new there isn't a large resource of documentation / help like others (such as SDL).
