To write a game like this you should understand the Model-View-Controller pattern and know a good bit about a graphical library package that you think will suite you. C++ might right to write this game in but there are other technologies that could ease you in a bit smoother (Java and Flash might be something to consider).
Reply:You can find some good tutorials in OpenGL (graphics library) from NeHe. nehe.gamedev.net. This is a good reference site if you are just starting out in C++ and it will give you the fundamentals of the graphics libaries, even 3d development. Basically create a picture, create a square and map the picture to it. Good luck ;)
