Programmer newbie

Sup /prog/.

I have some knowledge about programming, basics of programming( I know some stuff about OOP too .. ) But I want to develope games.. I have tried with SDL but I think it's not the right stuff for me. So do you have any recommendations?

Optimization, vector shit, not looking like a stupid ass for trying to make useful things without being able to understand the simplest of all advanced maths.

And most importantly, be sure to check 'em.
