What is the easiest thing to use to make 2D graphics? I want to be able to include bitmap images. Also, I want to be able to make a window come up, instead of it running in the dos console. The kind of thing that opengl does, but i dont want to use open gl. I want the EASIEST solution. Thanks. Sorry for my excessive posts.
I think Java is pretty easy. Very few lines of code to display an image or make a window at that.
Maybe VB or Delphi.
Easiest is rarely the best though.
VB JAVA and Delphi suck

Take the plunge and learn OpenGL, start by useing GLUT (an extension to OpenGL to make codeing simple).
I reccomend this page to get started.
As the man said, the easiest is rarely the best. But with glut you will be drawing 3d graphics inside an day, and in a week you can be useing it in your own applications.
If you have any problem ask here, I know GL pretty good.
would you quit obcessing over 3d graphics. He said he wanted 2d graphics. You could check out sunlights tutorial (i think its mentioned in the faq) or run a search for for "windows programing tutorials" and "direct draw tutorials".
OpenGL can do 2D just as easy as 3D, 2D is easier to program for.
