I'm looking for a simple, powerful and easy library to make 2D games. I'm familiar with c++, so I'm looking for library that is written in c++. And if possible there must be some resources in internet about the library, so I can learn it. I posted this question in EEE PC category because my laptop has no "excellent" requirements and library mustn't be very big and complex. I need just a simple library. Any suggestions? What do you advise me?

As I can see, the SDL library is the library you want exactly. It is written in c++, is easy. also it is cross-platform library, that means you can use it not only on windows, but on linux and on other platforms as well. It doesn't need big system resources, so it will work on your laptop very well. As for tutorials, Here are some useful links about SDL: The SDL homepage: http://www.libsdl.org/ Some tutorials: http://wiki.libsdl.org/moin.cgi/Tutorials http://www.sdltutorials.com/sdl-animation/ cool one: http://www.lazyfoo.net
Hope this helps.
