I'm struggling
And if you want to try making a small game with rudamentary graphics, but not go full OpenGL/DirectX, take a look at OLC pixel game engine. It's a one header graphics library that will allow you to draw simple shapes, text, etc. perfect for prototyping or making very simple games. Eventually you'll want to try making Pong to take your training to the next level, so this will be perfect for that.
