Is there a basic movement example?

[GameGenie]

I'm having some trouble getting started with graphics and i was wondering, is there (or someone could make one) a basic movement example i could get. When i press left it would move left, right it would move right... Animation would be nice but it's not really that important. I use Dev-C++ but i also have Visual c++. Also if it is well documented that would help a ton.

Thanks ~GameGenie

Thanks for the reply , but i'm getting some errors.

When i try and compile the snake or ball movement program i get a few errors...

  [Linker error] undefined reference to `timeGetDevCaps@8'

There is other errors but there all like that just different names...

Any ideals

As mentioned at the top of the source code, you'll have to link with winmm.lib.

Linking with Dev-C++

Project -> Project Options -> Parameters -> Linker

Add -lwinmm to the Linker options.
