As the title suggests, I'm interested in game programming. I've looked at openGL, but turned away when i found it was only for 3d projects. I looked at allegro, but was discouraged when i found that text isn't really it's forte(imagine the accent over that 'e' for me, if you would...). Could there be one library to cover 2d graphics and text output, or should I use allegro in conjunction with some other library for text? I guess the real question is, does anyone know a solid set of libraries to use to get into game programming in C++? I don't really care if anyone else can play the games, I just want to make them...
