Is it possible to write/draw graphics (3D & 2D) using Visual C++ 2010 Express? (I found a series of tutorials on youtube about game programming, but ‘ttraps’-the guy who made them- never got to graphics. His last post was in 2010.)
If so, what project type should I build and what library headers do I need?
If this is impossible, please direct me to some other resources that I could use.
(I am using Windows 7.)

    There are a whole range of libraries for drawing graphics using C/C++.

    If you are on Windows and not afraid to use platform dependent code then you can use the Windows GDI API. GDI is usually used to build interactive GUI Widgets, such as custom drawn buttons and edit boxes.

    If you are looking for 3D rendering you can use Microsoft’s own DirectX API. There is also an OpenGL Windows implementation.
