How to add interface/graphics to C++?

Harutyun (29)
I just made a c++ code to play tic tac toe, but the "graphics" I'm using are quite ugly, are there any ways to easily implement some graphics? And how exactly will this be done? I only know the very basics of C++

Not with the standard library. I'd recommend you get SFML. It's pretty easy to use. Example:
