This thing sounds like some drug name or something. Is a supposed to be a graphics library? If so where do you get it? Sorry im beginner at C++ and im only good at console apps.

You can, also, click on the link in my sig to go to my site to look at Allegro tutorials, games, and links.The Allegro library provides C/C++ programmers low level routines commonly needed in game programing, such as input, graphics, midi, sound effects, and timing. It is cross platform and works with many different compilers. Originally developed by Shawn Hargreaves, it is now a group project with contributions from all over the world! Some of its key features include:
Ease of Use- comes with comprehensive documentation and examples
Extensibility- functions for virtually anything needed in making a game
Cross Platform- without changing a single line of code, you can cross-compile among Windows, DOS, Linux, BeOS and others! Works with many compilers, including DJGPP and VC++
Open Source- it will never die, since it is a group project that anyone can contribute to
Free- it won't cost you a dime!
For more information regarding the technical details of Allegro, we encourage you to visit Allegro's homepage and give it a try!
Allegro is very easy to learn; I made my first program with it within a hour of downloading it. That includes the time it took to build the library and read the documentation.
PS: Actually Allegro is (I think) french for lively, colorful. It is also used in music to mean "play fast"

Actually, its Italian.
Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah
