ok ive heard that for programmers you want to get into real graphical games should use sdl,then later opengl direct x
i was just wondering if sdl is like the best "3rd party"? i believe its called library for games with opengl accompanying it so,is it the best or are there any others that are better,ive heard of allegro but i dont really like it.
It's the best library (yes, that is the term) in my opinion, perhaps because it's one of the only ones I've ever used.Try searching the board; I'm sure there are a few threads on the topic.

i cant search boards i use googleeverytime i search the board i put in the wrong thing and have to wait to let me do a new one
Well, searching the board for "sdl allegro graphics library" turned up at least one thread about SDL vs. Allegro: http://cboard.cprogramming.com/showthread.php?t=56577 (Don't know how relevant it is.)

ok so you use sdl ,know any good tutorials ive looked through the sticky and on the sdl website the best one i found was lazyfooproductions and its not quite my faviourite
Well, I just used the simple tutorials in the documentation, but then I already knew how to do some graphics programming. Again, you could try searching this board.
This one looks okay: http://sol.gfxile.net/gp/
