New to windows programming
Hey everyone, I'm new to WinAPI and everything I managed to achieve so far was a window that calculates the current mouse coordinates and load some pictures.
Recently I've decided to make a Tic-Tac-Toe game in WinAPI, which I did and I had fun making it. Now I want to take a step forward and make a Solitaire game. I am planning on using my Solitaire console game code for the core logic of the game itself, however, I don't know how to implement it using Windows Programming.
Therefore, I was wondering, is there a site which shows how to make traditional games in Windows API? By traditional I mean games like Chess, Solitaire and so on...
It'd be nice if I can use that as a frame of reference, thanks in advance.

Note: I also do not mind books as long as they clearly explain the implementation of the game especially the WinAPI aspect of it, thanks.
