For the basics of any drawing app, you're going to want a graphics  
library.  I recommend looking at OpenGL[1] (especially if you want 3D  
balls, though it can make nice 2D just as well.  It has a rather  
steep learning curve, however), Allegro[2], and SDL[3].  Allegro is  
designed specifically for games, and SDL is used mostly for games but  
designed to be a bit more (note, only a little bit) generic.

Give some of those a look-over and try some tutorials[4-8].  That  
should keep you busy for a day or so. ^_^
