Graphics in Visual C++?

Hello,

I'm not very good at programming in C++ - I'm a begginer. I am wondering if there is anyway to do graphics in Visual C++. Somehow I find it strange that VISAUL C++ has no VISUALS! I used to use Borland C++ that had graphics.h, but I can't find anywhere to use it, and I never had it - I just used it at a friends house who no longer has it.

Well the best thing for you do is to get into OpenGL, if you really want to do some great graphics. You can get some good stuff at You can also use Delphi for this Welcome to the Pythian Games!

What do you mean by graphics? Do you simply wish to display static/animated images (pre-drawn) ? If you are using MFC you should be able to add and manipulate where the images go on the form visually. (i.e. as a BMP resource)

Drawing on the fly gets complex quick. Other things to look into are DX8 (handles graphics, sound, network, input, etc...) and OpenGl (graphics only).

has some good samples on visual C.
 
Some good news, there is also an Open Source for Audio which is called OpenAL. You can visit the site If you need the delphi translations, you can contact me Welcome to the Pythian Games!
