    Simple and Fast Multimedia Library

  • www.learncpp.com and www.learnopengl.com are both great resources with a wide range of complexity. There’s a also bunch of different frameworks you could use for game development and they each have tutorials and documentation that’ll help get you started. I recommend checking out SDL (www.libsdl.org) or GLFW (www.GLFW.org) or SFML (www.sfml-dev.org). Also maybe try out Raylib (www.raylib.com). I personally use GLFW but it’s a bit more bare bones than other frameworks and may not be the best to begin with. Hope these links help!
