The best way to begin game programming is to try something small, like a
pong clone. You'd learn the basics of NSView and NSBezierPath (or NSImage,
depending on how you implemented it) and collision detection. The key here
is to START SMALL so you don't get frustrated. Game programming is often
harder than other applications.
However, I have a different view of other applications to an extent. I think
you should simply come up with something and see if you can do it. If you
can, great. If you can't, shelve it until you can.
