Prove it. Put work into it. Outline to us what goes into making a game or a map editor. Since you don''t know, shut up and learn.

Well...?
Thsi whole entire time Im tryin to figure out what goes into building map editor!!!! I read like 50 pages and been to like 100 sites!!! They all say "To start out start with simple build Tetris type of game" ok but how the fuck do I make a tetris type of game!!!!??????
Look it up. I referred you to the "For Beginners" link, which has articels on how to make games. You said it was useless. I referred you to the "Articles & Resources" link as well. You paid no attention.
This stuff takes time and patience, and you need to follow it through. You only get what you put into it - you can''t make a map editor overnight. Ask anyone who has made any game or editor and you''ll find that they''ve spent a significant amount of time learning and improving.

1st when I said "that didnt help" I refered to teh post above urs! u replied while I was typin it so it apperared under urs!!
2nd I do know that it takes time sometime even years!!! but I dont even know where to start!!!
3rd those links "Here To start" as I said above say to build Tetris game but it doesnt explain how to build it!! no code examples no step by step explanations examples just some screenshot of a game!!
4th U sand even imagine how many things i looked up in Google and ask.com and I searched everywhere and couldnt find anything specifically on creating game editor!!

I''d forget about Diablo, Everquest and that map editor for now.
If you want to make a Tetris clone you can follow the tutorials here:
http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/forum.asp?forum_id=33
This will take you through it step by step with code examples.
All you need to get through this is Visual C++ (which you said you have) and the directX SDK. You can download directX from Microsoft''s website. That is all you need for now. Plus a whole lot of patience.
If you can''t make it through this then you''re definitely not ready for a map editor.
So now you know what you need and where to go. Get busy!

my god. calm down. first learn, alot of the programs you make ARENT going to work. ok and you cant just code a program and expect it to run, there WILL be errors. telling us you know SOME C++ doesnt help; just cuz you know how to make a "hello world" app, won do crap for you. read. i dont care how much youve read, read more. read books on game design. calm down and be patient.

Game making equation:
(C++ and OOP)-->(WIN32 and basic design)-->(DirectX/ OpenGL)
[Stage one]----[Stage two]----------------[Stage three]
--> (Advanced C++)-->(Advanced DX like Direct3D)-->(more Design)
[Stage four]------[Stage five]-----------------[Stage six]
--> (Industrial experience) = (Game developer)-->(test and debug)
[Stage seven]---------------[OUTPUT]----------[hehe...]
I welcome any comments about the "equation" as I'm a newbie as well.
