I can give you links to C++ language references. I don't know how much it helps if even your internet access is somewhat limited, but when you can log in, it's worth a look:

Dark GDK tutorials are good too. For example, the Dark Invaders tutorial is a complete game, you can see how it's made. The tutorials are installed with the Dark GDK, so you don't need internet connection to read them.
You have a nice game plan. It's a good project for learning.
