Hello there, programming forum.
I feel like, for the past three years, I've been running around in circles. I started learning to program because I wanted to make games in the end, but I just went from place to place. I dabbled in making algorithms, I dabbled in array sorting and data structures, and I spent time in studying all different languages. But I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere.
I guess I just need some guidance.
Thanks, all. Even if you can't answer my questions, just some general pointers in programming would be helpful.

- For OS/X, what would be a good C++ 2D graphics library? Making something like Pong.
- What languages will it be actually beneficial to know? I plan on trying to master C++ for general development, Python for scripts and quick jobs (not including web development)
- Good OS X IDE? I've tried CodeBlocks, it crashes constantly on OS/X, and I'm sort of tired of using vim in terminal and gcc to compile.
