Is there a simple C ++ library for drawing on the screen?

Question

I'm just starting to program in C ++, and I want to try to create cloning of space invaders in C ++, I want to avoid using game libraries and things that could solve many problems (for example, game loop and vector math, etc. ), so I can handle it myself, but I don’t know how to start drawing things on the screen.

I was wondering if there is a good library that I should use to just allow myself to draw lines or graphics on the screen, or can I do this without using a library?

I would be grateful for any advice,

Thank.

Answer 7

In my opinion, starting with a GUI library such as wxWidgets (www.wxwidgets.org) is a good idea because they are often platform independent and provide good drawing mechanisms - plus all that other GUI tools you may find useful later.

Wouldn't it be more interesting to do this by typing 80x? ascii characters on screen every .x seconds?
