It can take a long time just to get the opengl type programming understood. I've been studying this: http://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/index.php http://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/index.php which I think does a terrific job explaining many of the important concepts while at the same time giving you useful outline code that you can use to quickly prototype your game. Best of all you supposedly can port this to many devices (it's an SDL tutorial).
