What does that program do? Make Games?
Code::Blocks is an IDE. (Integrated Development Environment)

Haha, I tried to make a project using DirectX, and so far I only managed to make a window with a coloured background. When I try anything else, I just get errors spat at me, so I'm going to leave it at that for a bit. :P

DirectX is a pain to get started...the sheer number of variables needed is immense.

Try OpenGL first, get a simple square/cube spinning. It's a lot easier.

So like how do you make GUIs and stuff with C++? I have this big guide but it just tells math, logic, etc. and only shows functions in command prompt. I want to make programs that aren't just limited to Command Prompt! Any guides on this?

You should try Win32 programming.
Google it. There's an extensive list of guides.

Any superior guides you'd recommend?

openGL sucks.

I am having problems with OpenGL, so I half-agree with you there.

I can't really remember the guides that I used. :[

Bah to you! If John Carmack can win with OpenGL, you're doing it wrong.

For GUIs, try something like wxWidgets or GTK to give you a head start

I don't really understand these programs :/

Sorry I'm a complete noob at all of this.

I've wanted to learn a scripting language for a long time, but i would want to learn one that is compatible for many programs and uses. If i wanted to make 2D games, playable on flash, can i only use flash programming? Or can you convert it somehow? Lol, i'm lost on what i want to attempt learning, would you guys reccomend C++?

C++ is for console applications
For flash, you use actionscript

At your age I recommend learning something easier. If you're looking to make a game, use some already made game engines like UDK or unity. If you're looking to make a program/interface, use visual basic or something.

How old do you think he is?
He's around the same age as me if I remember correctly, and I can use C++ pretty decently.

1) Pretty sure you and I are like the same exact age.

2) I'm not interested in trying to be cool by making a giant mmo like you are. I know my limits.
