If you *just* want to write graphics code and produce images, you can
skip all the window crap and just output images. No libraries needed
whatsoever. Here's a few hours tutorial on doing exactly this with a
raytracer:
* Making a Simple Raycaster (part 1)
* Making a Simple Raycaster (part 2)
That's on Windows, but it's trivially adapted to Linux. In fact, it's
even better on Linux because you can skip the overly-complicated BMP
format and produce simple
Netpbm images with just a
few minutes of effort. Any Linux image viewer can display these.
You can produce video (with sound!), too, using this exact same
technique since video is just a series of images. Here's one of my own
examples,…
