How to make graphical app/game in C++

[CheVlaya]

Maybe a noob question but I want a good answer.

So far I only made console and windows form apps but how do I make something like a 2D game with drawn objects and not a text-based program?

Use a library, such as SFML: http://www.sfml-dev.org/

If you're feeling ambitious, you could use OpenGL. It's not too hard to get some textured quads to display and it's worth knowing how the rendering process works. http://www.arcsynthesis.org/gltut/
