You want to make a game. You've found some resources on the internet about programming, video game development, C++ or whatever else.

But, do you understand the tools you're using before getting started making games?

Since my Beginner's Guide tutorials cover C++, this is mainly based around OOP languages. How do you figure out whether you're knowledgeable enough to begin game programming?

Well, take the prerequisites tests!

These are small assignments testing various things from conditional statements to class inheritance. Things that I consider to be the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM you need to know about your programming language before jumping into game programming!
