You start off by learning C++ and doing some basic research. No one is going to code it for you.

But you cannot write a simple program. :/

Not according to your questions.

Head on over to http://www.gamedev.net, that's a far better source for game programming knowledge than the CodeProject is.

I started out writing games, in Z80 assembler and in various forms of basic.

Even simple text games end up with complex code. I doubt that a simple example is going to be interesting, or give you any insight into writing games.

I'm left wondering why a 'pro' C++ developer wouldn't already know that.

Learn c++ and OpenGL programming (OpenGL-Open Graphics library, It is just an API which will provide function to draw basic geometries). You will find enormous number of example code and helps in internet.... By the way opengl will not provide windowing and user interface support, there are lot of open source libraries are available for that. Use GLUT this the best option for the fresher... Good Luck...
