Hi, im just tryin to figure out how to load images onto the screen, (non dos mode/ non terminal mode) in C++ and use the keyboard. Any sites recommend is well appreciated. I've been trying to sample code off the net to see how they do it themselve's but im using Dev C++ from bloodshed.net and there is always an error when I compile it. Is there any solution to this?

Thanks, will do.

Just one second which SDL package do I download? Could you give me the direct link.

I got the list of SDL Language Bindings, and under the C++ libraries only I got this list. I honestly don't know which to use, for I don't know what the documentation, and articles refer to, and don't know which one you want to recommend.
