You can do some old style MSDOS game using a bit of software interruptions ( 0x10 ), and accessing Video Memory at location 0xA0000.
Or you can do a Win32 based game. You would need to know the basics of WIn32 programming, and some accelerated graphics programming technology such as OpenGL or DirectX.
My advice is, just jump into programming and ask any question you might have in your way. i.e. dont try turning yourself into an expert on OpenGL technology before coding, or else you would never start coding the game. -
I recommend for your first couple of games is to work with a game library like Allegro or something similar. They have functions defined which makes it easy to interact with the display/hardware of the PC. Then I would move into something like OpenGL or Direct X.Comment
