C++ coding help!

Ok, I'm assuming you're using windows.... Music + Console is fairly easy (look at mp3blaster (i think they have a windows port, but don't hold me to that) or something similar)...

As far as images go.... The only graphics you can do in console is either 1. ASCII or 2. ncurses.

If you want a headache you could try to mess with SDL. There are lots of tutorials available and an easy-to-use api for reference. I'm not sure how something like that would apply to your program though.

SDL would be the easiest way for you to do such a thing. You download the header files and the DLL (WHich needs to be on the same folder level as your program exe).

There are many SDL tutorials out there if you search.

DirectX would be another alternative but it requires alot more work to get things done. And for something as simple as just images and sound, I dont suggest using this.

And if you use DirectX, not everybody could use it. SDL supports many more platforms, operating systems and processor architectures than DirectX could ever hope to.
