    Question Graphics

    I'm not that good @ understanding the tutorials, and I have no Idea what a .h file is and why graphics can't be in their own cpp file. Please help.

    You'd have to clarify on what it is that you would like to accomplish. That way someone could help.

    Graphics isn't something you start out with when learning to program.
    Do some basic stuff first. Follow tutorials or buy a good book.
    Then when you feel more experienced (like knowing what a header file is ) you can move on to gfx.

    I know what a header file is but I'm not ready for graphics =/

    What type of graphics are you after?

    I think your best off working with Circles and basic Polygons which can be called from Graphic header files. Working with them should get you use to the concept of graphics. I am not sure about the graphics you can use in games like sprites and backgrounds, I am a newb in the graphical department, but I think you can use software like Allegro and DirectX to create your known graphics.

    Have you ever played Pac-man, I want to find out how to get gfx like that, with commands that can change the direction the object on the screen is moving.

    By the way, I have taken some tutorials and know what a HEADER FILE is.
