    Load a bitmap of the red dot image. Display it in the center by dividing the width of the screen by 2, same for height. Your question is vague.......

    Which screen? My left or my right one?

    There is no way to do this in standard C++ anyway, so either specify your target platforms, or ask in one of the specific boards.

    On top of a full-screen game? Tough. Very tough. These things usually have exclusive access to their drawing area.

    Yeah it's so obvious that he wants to make a crosshair in some game that doesn't have one on purpose!
