Hubski doesn't like Cplusplus! And I have no clue >.<

Have you programmed any games yet? Or still wanting to hone your programming skills a bit first?

Templates aren't as difficult as they may sound! ^^ If you wanted you could do some Cplusplus tutorials or get a book on Cplusplus, there are plenty! A proper education would definitely help though, they give you a solid foundation in the field. It isn't easy learning everything by yourself unless you have a good amount of motivation to keep you going!

Yeah starting small is definitely the way to go! If you haven't heard of Lazy Foo yet: Starting out on Game Development.

As for the maths, it might be handy to learn as you go! Learn whatever it is you need to accomplish programming a certain thing. I find it quite boring studying mere theory, but it gets fun when you get to have a goal to work towards. I totally recommend Khan Academy. If you haven't heard of it yet, it is becoming more and more popular and has an extensive coverage of maths, and much more! They also recently launched a computer science platform which teaches programming through the use of Javascript, in case you find that interesting.

I have no idea what community college is, we have no such thing here (Belgium). Over here it's kindergarden -> elementary school (6 years) -> secondary school (6 years) -> university (5 years, academic bachelor, master) or "high school" (3 years, professional bachelor)
