SFML VS build-your-own-x

Take a look at SFML. Very easy to get started, and quite capable.

https://www.sfml-dev.org/

As for windows, you'd probably be alright looking into SFML, you can see their Getting Started tutorial for how to install it in your IDE of choice.

SFML (zlib/C++) https://github.com/SFML/SFML

SDL or SFML for drawing. They are both gfx libs but are used differently so read about what you thing suits you better.

Make a game with https://www.sfml-dev.org/ (I used SFML Rust to start learning Rust)

All suggestions are welcome,thanks in advance

Make sure that apart from learning you're using the knowledge to create something either your own idea or maybe something from https://github.com/danistefanovic/build-your-own-x (with your own twist if possible.). It helps a lot to be working on something separately and seeing the results of your new knowledge outside of a tutorial scenario.

28. Build your own X

Do some projects. Come up with your own ideas or pick something from a list like https://github.com/danistefanovic/build-your-own-x

ello! i'm 20f and humanities student (ir/poli sci) with interest in coding since high school, but just now i have the time to start learning it. i opted for learning pyhton first mostly because i'm interested in automation, data analysis, plus was skimming over the tutorials of build your own x and was surprised that you can do a lot of things with just pyhton.

As for exercises there are plenty of programming task websites out there, most of them are quite boring but you can use a fun one like https://adventofcode.com/ . However the best things to work on are things you actually like so do some small projects. Games (start with command line stuff like hang-man) are common, otherwise pick something from https://github.com/danistefanovic/build-your-own-x or whatever else ideas come to your mind.
