    First the bad news: There are no colors or graphics in ANSI/ISO standard C++. And, there is no sound or mouse either.

    The good news: Your computer probably can display colors and graphics, and your compiler probably includes "extra" libraries to include them in your programs. And, there are 3rd-party libraries such as OpenGL that might work with your compiler.

    Assuming you're running Windows and that you have a Windows compiler (one capable of making Windows programs), there are simple functions that allow you to display common shapes or display text in various fonts and colors.

    A little more bad news: It takes about two pages of "overhead" code to create a window. (Windows programming is NOT for beginners.)

    Don't be so cruel on him, he's just a beginner and probably doesn't
    know anything about libraries, headers, APIs, ...
    I know what he means, he doesn't have to say it properly in order for me to understand it
