I am only about 3 months into learning programming with C++ and I'm really tired of console programs. I went through cprogramming.com tutorials and read Beginning C++ Game Programming by Michael Dawson. I want to start getting involved in a 2D game like a side-scroller or a simple game that looks kind of like the NES Zelda game. Do I need something like DirectX to define the layout or can I use things in WinMain... or am I making no sense... this is a new step for me I really don't know anything other than console programs right now and I want to make the jump... any help would be greatly appreciated. Any websites or any information. Thanks.
