Animated backtracking
Hi!
I have recently learned the backtracking method, and I want to make an animation showing how it works. Nothing fancy, just a n x n grid, a ball and a hole. This is something similar to what i have in mind : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Eight-queens-animation.gif
The problem is, I have no knowledge of graphics in C++ ( or any other language ).
So, my first question is whether this would be a realistic project for a person with a fairly limited experience in C++.
I have tried searching the web for basics about graphics, but only found 3D in Open GL and DirectX, and I don't think I need to use so complex tools.
My second question is how should I go about doing this? What should I learn?
Any help would be apreciated. Thanks!
