You need a GUI library.

Alas.
huh?? sorry but I don't get it :/
C++ language only knows about streams of ASCII characters. It knows nothing about your monitor so it can't create colors, pixels, lines etc., only ASCII characters. To make colored graphics you need to include some graphics functions. There are many choices as Duoas linked for you. You have to pick one and learn how to use it. It's not very difficult but it IS a LOT of studying and practicing to use the GUI (Graphical User Interface) Framework that you have picked. If these points are confusing to you then you are probably not ready to tackle GUI and should stick with learning basic C++ until you are ready.

Nah, if you have problems just google for a solution.
Just do whatever you want (as long as it's just for you) as long as you want.

If you're a beginner I'd suggest you try QtCreator or Visual C++, both of them include an IDE and a GUI designer, which is pretty helpfull ;)
