Game Programming Graphics

[Masterassassin1398]

Hi =). I am looking to create a simple 8-bit top down game. Simple collision basics that I can learn as well as maybe some sort of inventory/equipment system, mainly though I am looking for graphics tutorials in particular for code::blocks because I don't have access to visual studio and devcpp I have heard is outdated. I have scoured the internet for weeks now trying to find tutorials to teach me how to use graphics. I have a text-based RPG/strategy game I am working on right now with skills, inventory, and a lot of world interactions. I just wish it had graphics. If anybody can please direct me toward some tutorials that actually work yet are somewhat simple because I am a beginner with graphics. Thank yous in advance ^-^

Get a graphics lib. I recommend SFML. Download and install it.

They have tutorials of how to use it on their site.
