i know a fair chunck of c++ and this book , Beginners guide to DirectX Game programming sounded promising for the first 50 or so pages then like a ton of bricks they hit me with all this windows programming, something i know VERY little of, so after i got scared away from that, tried open gl, that was even worse, so i come to you humbly wondering, if action in dos is possible, like pong, or maybe an astriod clone

if so , any possible links, advice is greatly apreciated



thanks
