What do you use to make graphics with the C and C++ programming language??

Question

Do you use a library, if yes, name the library?? Or do you use something else?? Im new to game development so please, help me understand how graphics work and how to implement it in programming. I am sure there are others out there that struggle with graphics as well. Thanks in advance!! (:

Answer 1

There are many options

I believe the graphics.h header is outdated

Try these

OpenCV 3

Game library SDL2

Answer 2

@Willeam

I am using a tutorial for SDL2.

I do not believe it is difficult.

It takes a few vids and you are good.

I generated images from my pc in OpenCV 3 in one video.

Just search then use what works for you.

If you are serious, and are decent with C++.

As @Martin reccomended try direct x.

Also Unreal is good too.
