There is a reasonably high learning curve for both DirectX and OpenGL for game programming.
Have you programmed GUIs before? If you haven't I'd recommend you start out with glut and OpenGL. I personally started with glut and OpenGL. glut provides you with many convenience facilities for GUI apps.
NeHe is a great site for beginning. Loads of tutorials.

Oh also check out this cool prog < 64k

Thanks!
I will look at SDL and OpenGL, and I have not programmed GUIs before.
If there's anything else you want to say, please do...
Thanks for the help! :cheesy:
