The sdk is just a library (or set of them) ... its not an editor and it doesn't provide you with any tools ... all you get is a set of functions that'll make programming a game in C++ a walk in the park (or hopefully it would)

Lets just say that Dark Basic Pro (DBP) would be a good start for you to make games. It will allow you to "to type out the source code and compile it" ...ofcourse not C++ source code but darkbasic source code ... just go to the following link

from the questions you are asking, and the fact that you say you are learning c++, i dunno if the dark game sdk is really what you are looking for right now...

i'd have to agree with the advice theDK gave you in all honesty... DBPro is a lot more fogiving than c++, and getting familiar with the idiocyncracies of some of the compilers out there can be very daunting...

but hey, if you're really determined, then go for it... good luck...
