| Post subject: | Drawing to the screen..? |
Hi, I'm a noob coder, only started learning yesterday. I made a thread with a question concerning a program that I was making (simple math program). Anyways I was wondering if someone could point me to the right direction or possibly give me some source code that I could learn from. I want to make a program that with draw to the screen and have it show on top of anything, for example within a game. I want to make a centered dot on the screen so I can use if for a crosshair in various games that I play.... Any help would be great! |

If you're interested in graphics, I don't know if C++ would be a good place to start. It's definitely a very powerful language, but this power comes at the expense that things such as using it for graphics require a surprising amount of code - for example, this is a tutorial on how to set up a blank window for OpenGL. Although I personally haven't used it, PyGame is apparently very intuitive. You would be using Python instead of C++ though (which is good, Python is a very cool language). |
