Having a image interface

[Yung]

For a summer project I have been thinking of making a text based game using c++. However, with just black and white command prompt I think it's going to be boring. Is it possible to have a "java-like" interface? If possible, what can I use?

What is a java-like interface? Do you mean a GUI? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface

Ah, that's what it's called. Yes something like a GUI

To draw pictures on the screen, you have to ask the OS nicely to do it for you. This is not simple.

It becomes simpler with the use of a widget toolkit.
