If you are using Turbo C, then the library <graphics.h> can be used.
It allows to draw line, circle, polygon and other elementary shapes.
Colors are also available.

The lines below gives a very elementary idea to start with graphics
------------
You can animate the figures by erasing them and drawing them repeatedly.
the following is a pseudo code -

draw(oldx1 , oldy1, oldx2, oldy2, in_red_ color);
while ( !kbhit())
{
draw(oldx1 , oldy1, oldx2, oldy2, in_black_ color); //Used to erase
sleep(1);
newx1 = oldx1 + 1;
newx2 = oldx2 + 1;
newy1 = oldy1 + 1;
newy2 = oldy2 + 1;
draw(newx1, newy1, newx2, newy2, in_red_color); //To redraw in new position
oldx1 = newx1;
oldx2 = newx2;
oldy1 = newy1;
oldy2 = newy2;
}

----
draw() can be a user defined function calling line() and setcolor(int color)

For user inputs, you can detect the keyboard keys and the mouse buttons.
