I have created this game in java: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8fnkb4tgkw

Now i want to learn C++. Is it a good way to rewrite the game in c++, or should i start with something else?

From what I understand about java, C++ has an EXTREMELY similar syntax, since it is derived from C++.

I understand also that in Java you don't have to worry as much about memory management, whereas C++, it whould be one of your top priorities.

I would get a book, or follow some tutorials to look at the C++ syntax, you probably will find a few things that you need to make changes to, but If you already know how to program, I doubt it will be too hard to transfer your skills (and your code) from Java to C++

After that, you could probably get your game to compile in C++, just depends if the library you used can be used in C++ aswell I guess.

I hope this helped anyway

You may need to go through a tutorial or something to get you started first, but I don't think your task is impossible, but I don't think it will be easy as cake either. Either way, grab yourself a good C++(everyone raves for the learn it in 21 days book) and work through that or use it as a reference.

OK, thanks :D

Haha, cool game. Looks almost exactly like the atari game, except it has power and a health bar. Good luck converting to/learning C++. Definitely post here if you get stuck with anything.
