2D graphics

[Melander]

Hi how do i add 2d graphics like a background and like a diffrent kind of text to my programs? i know i need to use a win32 window app instead of a win32 console but are there lots of stuff diffrent between them?

Actually, you do not need to use a Win32 window. If anything I would recommend that you don't use it if you're just graduating from console programming to GUI programming. Try this library:

Ah ok, win32 window is kinda the big thing right? better to start some where and move up.

Hey again albatross.

Cant get it to run always the same error:
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'sfml-system-d.lib'

checked 3 times my sys is setup exactly as in the description but it still wont budge.

Actually, the Win32 thing in my opinion is the big thing that absolutely nobody should have to use. It's a pain in the...

You're absolutely sure that your compiler is searching the directory that contains sfml-system-d.lib? If you're 100% sure that it is searching that directory, then I guess, try another GUI system? Qt4 is another good option.
