I haven't done any C++ game programming in a while, but when I did, I mostly used SDL for graphics and stuff.  It is meant for 2-D graphics, but it works well with OpenGL if you want 3-D graphics later on.

There are also some libraries that work with SDL to extend its features, such as SDL_mixer to extend its audio capabilities, SDL_image for loading more types of images, and a few others here (mainly the ones prefixed with "SDL_").

I remember using mostly this and some other page/document that I forgot (it may have been something bundled with the SDL download) to help me learn how to use SDL.  You can visit here, here, and here for more tutorials and documentation.

I'm also pretty sure that both OpenGL and SDL work with C and C++.

EDIT: And also, this gives a decent introduction on using SDL.

Lastly, I recommend checking out Code::Blocks to use for your IDE.  It has built-in templates to help you use libraries like SDL.  You should probably use the latest nightly build here, as the official release hasn't been updated in over a year, I think.  Be sure to read How to use a nightly build first.

That looks really awesome, and being able to change the camera's viewing angle is cool.  I also like that the cars have shadows underneath them

At one point it was around 8.1 or 8.8KB, but burntfuse increased it.

And it's nice that there's an on-computer BBC BASIC file editor.  I'm going to check it out once I get on my other computer

Cool, all of these are looking really nice. 

I couldn't provide the latest version of MLC for the Algebra FX besides the one from the old Omnimaga website, though, because as mentionned above, all links are down everywhere.

I think I have a version on one of the computers in my house somewhere.  I'll try to upload it sometime.

I am kinda worried about the 68k version too, because it has been progressing so slowly in the past 3 years , and there haven't been news since October

Yeah.  I've been busy with school and stuff, and other projects.  Pretty much the only coding I've done on a project this school year was during winter break.

That screenshot (on the other page) looks pretty nice.

Chip's Challenge was actually one of my favorite games years ago (I think it came on a Windows 95 computer I used to have)

No don't worry I will try to make sure to not link to this horrible rickroll cover again.

and welcome back, simplethinker!
