You need to learn a graphics API like Direct 3D or OpenGL. I'm sure there are other ones too; other people will post them :D
well all im really interested in is like 2 d rpgs, or somethinmh, i dunno what can i make with what i learned?
SDL is a great start
is it easy to pick up? im just looking for something that will help me practicing my programming skills.
Or Allegro. My game SpaceWars was made in Allegro; check the link in my sig to download it :)Quote:

And, yes, it is very easy to use (at least imho ;) )
a good understanding of pointers, structs, arrays, and is very important, don't let it hold you back but learn them as soon as possible.
if youre going to do direct x you'll wanna get into some windows programming, however, i've heard open GL is a good way to go for beginners
He said 2d, mateQuote:
