actually we are asked to make a game in C++. we are now using Dev C++, but we can't find a graphics library in it.
thanks.

Sure it does, you just need to add it.
Tools->Package manager
Then locate "Simple DirectMedia Layer"
Install and enjoy.
i didn't find any "simple directmedia layer" in there. am i supposed to get it from somewhere?
Google "mingw sdl" and take a look through the first few links.
If you haven't already, make sure to upgrade to the latest version of MinGW (Dev-C++ comes with a pretty old one).
Good luck!
I would use OpenGL. It available for any platform and any compiler you choose.
Try Ultimate++ RAD suite (a very goos IDE TheIDE bundled with MinGW compiler). It's integrated with SDL game graphic library (download it separately), examples included.
