10 lesser known engines to make games for fun and relax
I was a big fan of Solar2D (formerly known as CoronaSDK) for many years... I developed several games for the various App Stores. It's still around, free, and is now Open Source.

Theory vs Practice
Dont follow this path. Computers are nowadays fast enough so you do not need a low level language. Take a different language and use the libraries. I think a while ago Romero recommended LUA with corona sdk, now called solar 2d https://solar2d.com/

I want to add a graphical help system to a command-line program... how?
If you want a PDF that can be generated on the fly, I would recommend using LaTeX, but then it wouldn't necessarily be portable by default. You'd have to figure out how to bundle the basic requirements from LaTeX for the generation of the PDF document into your application. You could also probably use LaTeX with QT by using this C++ library https://github.com/NanoMichael/MicroTeX. There is a reason GUI applications are not as plentiful as console applications and also why most GUI versions of solid console apps are not up to date or buggy. It's not an easy thing to achieve, but if you have the patience for it, I say go for it!
