What are the softwares required for making simple games in C++ and what are the easiest games to create a project on in 3 weeks?

Question

I, along with my fellow classmates are told to make a project based on C++ (3 students per group). Maybe I can use other language, but since I can only write in C and C++, these are my only options.
My group was planning on making games and now we can't figure out what software to use.
We don't want to make something gorgeous, but something simple enough just to impress our teacher.
So, what software (codeblocks probably doesn't support graphics.h) should I use & what game (simple) should I work on?

Answer 1

Recreate the card game "uno" with multiplayer features.
Check openFrameworks or Cinder for you graphic layout

Answer 2

Hey, guess what? I ended up making a turn based strategy game... and it's quite easy to implement (unless you want to add visuals).

Answer 3

@seamiki, I have only heard of UNO, never played or don't even know the rules. So, is it simple enough to code entirely on C++?
For now, my goal is to impress the teacher with something (definitely not by copy-pasting) than to learn to make a game by myself. And it's been just 2 months since I took on the C++ mantle.

Answer 4

@kurwis, where do I import these libraries? And how?

Answer 5

What can I do with SFML? (I mean I have no idea)
