pong, or a simple tetris or something, yes.

space invaders is already a bit more difficult as this will involve sprites and random places where the sprites could be etc; although pong also involves a "sprite" it is far less comlicated to control a single one -the ball- than a whole bunch of them and moving them etc...).

All this involves animation and some mathematics, if you don't want that at first, try something as Mastermind; this is excellent to practice the basics of decision making and logical programming which is really needed in all other games.

do you mean Pong or a Breakout clone?

Pong is the one with two paddles and a ball, nothing more (ping-pong).

Breakout is the one where you need to destroy a wall of bricks with a ball and a paddle (which would be more complicated to make than pong).

I would say make breakout aswell. I don't really know how easy or hard it is to make anything in C++, as I'm not a programmer. All I do know, though, is that I love breakout, it is a classic!
