Explain to me about game and c++ in a nutshell.

[Yoda]

I know you need the following skills.

C++ - for programming them shiz

OpenGL-DirectX- for drawing gfx? and sending code to gfx card?



But my questions below need answered.



My basic problem is my mental state on understanding how this all ties in together and works.
i need to also know C++ standard library?

I would like this explained in simple detail if anyone can do that.


What for sounds? etc...
