If by us you mean you, then yes. You'll need to use a graphics library of some kind; then you'd use whatever methods that library provides for doing your graphics work.

Try SDL.

Also, [url=www.gamedev.net]gamedev.net is your friend.

SDL is good and cross platform; OpenGL is also good (but slightly more complex methinks). There is also DirectX, native win32 APIs, etc. Google will certainly help you find other graphics libraries.

[edit] Again, "you" not "we". *I* am certainly not doing anything with graphics.

thanks for reply guys. I know about SDL but do not know how to use it yet. So i was wondering if there a standard library that could do that. anyways i looked gamedev.net and it looks swell. thanks again.
