I have an idea, and need advice

[FighterCoder]

Okay so I have an idea for a game, I have extensive knowledge of C++ but no knowledge of libraries. I need to know how hard it is going to be to make a simple 2D simulation game.

I was thinking a game where you are a robot owner, you buy robots and upgrade/change parts. Then take part in robot rights in real time, and a robot league maybe, however you do not see these fights just the results at the end.

I could add some more info if someone can help me with how hard it will be and any tips about libraries ect.

Thanks in advance!

For 2D games, I like SFML or SDL.

Is it hard? depends. If you're going to make a 2D game that uses lots of algorithms and physics, then it would be pretty hard. But in your case, I think it's going to be pretty easy.

Okay, the graphics I think is going to be the hardest as im new to graphics and stuff, what about audio?

SFML does audio too. Have a look through the tutorials on their website, it's really good.
