I’m trying to learn some graphics programming using C. What would be the best way for a beginner to start? I’d like to how to make programs that use graphics and images that can be run directly from a command line prompt, and don’t rely on a windowing system like X to execute.
Thanks,
Mike
Look into libsdl – Simple DirectMedia Layer. Although on Linux it can use X11 for displaying output, it can also directly use a framebuffer device. It’s designed to be simple for pixel-bashing game-type programming, and supports a wide variety of platforms.
