I think this belongs in the For Beginners or General Programming forum (Console does not mean console window here, it means game console, like Playstation or Gameboy).
In response to your question, yes and no. If you have a DOS version compiler you can create programs that can do "graphics" and have "control", though this will require reading up on things like mode 13h (In the resources section). If you''ve been using a windows compiler then look up how to use the OpenGL, DirectX or GDI API.
Finally I would suggest trying to write simple programs (if you haven''t already) before getting into graphics and game programming (You really need to know the basics before you can try these things).
