    Have you programmed any games yet?

I have, but they're nothing to write home about. They were barely finished! I made them for school. A school which teaches "C with classes", as in "C without templates or even constructors and destructors". Nothing about algorithms or anything. Then again, it wasn't university so I won't blame them (too much).

    get a book on Cplusplus

I will, as soon as I get some money. I currently simply download .pdf version of books and read them on my tiny tablet and if I like the book within 10 pages, I'll add it to the list of books I'll need to buy. :)

    If you haven't heard of Lazy Foo yet:

I have! But mostly for his OpenGL tutorials. I tried to follow them once and it didn't work out too well, as I barely knew how classes worked back then. I've saved the link to read it later. Thanks!

    I totally recommend Khan Academy.

As do I. I restarted on another account about 4 days ago and already got 125,000 points and also have ~500,000 points on another account. It's a great website to learn math if you suck at reading books.

    a computer science platform which teaches programming through the use of Javascript
I thought it was Python.

    I have no idea what community college is

As I'm Dutch I translated MBO (Middelbaar Beroeps Onderwijs) via wikipedia, which translated to "community college". I guess it's "secondary school", as university is too high and elementary school (aka highschool, right?) is too low.

edit: I checked wikipedia and it claims it's "technisch secundair onderwijs" for the Belgian.
