Until now I have been using C# with XNA for 2d and a little bit of 3d games, althought I dont remember that I finished any of them I want to start working with C++. I have a very very little exprience with C++ and my question is where to start? I plated a little bit with SFML and I encountered some problems with performance when I started to build a tile based game. I'm pretty sure that the problem is my code and not the library itself. Is there anything similiar to XNA for C++? I should keep try and work with SFML?

Sorry for my bad english!

Thanks in advance!

Well firstly i would start with some basic c++ tutorials, they're scattered around, and theres books. Then, write a few text games. From there, you could move to something like SFML or SDL. In terms of performance, submit another question and we can help you there

Best start to learning C++ is to get hold of a beginner's C++ programming book.
