           Hi everyone.  I'm very, very new at programming, but am extremely 
interested in it and plan to pursue it as a carreer in the future.  I know a 
good amount of C that I have taught myself using books and other resources, 
but I haven't gotten into C++ or other advanced languages yet.  I'm a junior 
in high school, and plan to take it as independant study next year.  Anyway, 
I recently read a post from someone needing to make a 3D game engine for a 3 
pigs and wolf action game.  It sounded pretty advanced.  I certainly am not 
advanced.  My question is:  does anyone know of a good book to help me get 
started (think EASY) with graphics?  All I've found so far are books on 3D 
graphics programming, which are far too advanced.  How about one that might 
help me make a tetris clone or some other 2D, dos based game?  Is this 
possible in C?  Or do I need to move on to C++/Visual C++?

   I apologize about asking such trivial questions to those of you who 
obviously know what you're doing.  All the talk of DX and GL have me 
wondering if there's another way to get started with graphics that's easier.

                             Thanks a ton,

                                                Dan
