Buy a book.

Some thing free? And could you also tell me how to make it online?

Google, honestly :/ Through a good book is likely to be always better. But do you know C? Because trust me, learning C++ without knowing C can be painful. You better first learn C, then go for C++. Also books often feature both things, with the first half about C and the second part about C++, and they also include the references for the standard library functions.
Also don't expect to be able to do wonderful things with basic C directly. The standard library only provides basic console I/O, so to do something else you'll need to use system-specific stuff. Be warned of that.

Online tutorials tend to be far less useful than actual books. "Josh Spauling and Joe Pleiman's jumpstart guide to C Programming" (Or something like that, I'm loaning it out right now) was probably the most beginner friendly guide to anything I've ever read.
If you're too cheap to actually go out and buy something, I say you don't deserve programming knowledge.

Alright book it is. Now would getting a game online be part of C coding?

Like I said, you only have very basic I/O with the standard library. You need system-specific stuff in order to do anything else (and most videogames fall in this). You'll need to find some library or API that has the netgame functionality for the system you want to program, and then use it.
EDIT: in case you don't know, a library is a group of functions that are designed to do something. And a function is a routine (piece of code) that does something specific whenever you call it, that's it.

This is such a stupid statement in my opinion.Draykon said:
I can program quite well in C and I've learned it the hard way, by reading incomplete tutorials found on the internet and hacking code.
I can even program a bit in MIPS assembly and I've never read a book either on C or on this.
So have many. Many people have learnt this way, even people who now are professional programmers.
Get the facts right next time ;)
