C++ games

Question

I have been wondering if, when you make games with just c++ are you limited to the console? Or can you make a window with just c++ (no libraries).
Any Information given is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Answer 1

Let me ask this, because I share similar thoughts as Aaron, why are you subject to not using any libraries?

Answer 2

Using C++ without any library doesn't make sense, even iostream is in way a library. And C++ is a good language to create games and you could maybe try it without additional libraries, but I highly recommend you to use them. They will help you a lot, no matter if your game is for console, 2D or 3D.

Answer 3

It does for Windows if you #include <windows.h>. You will have to read up on this library to use it of course

Answer 4

I have nothing against libraries. All I wanted to know is if base c++ had the ability to make non-console games. But thank you for your feedback :)
