Or you could try Allegro, which is very easy and will help you get a good grasp of all the basic gaming aspects. Learn about it more here: http://alleg.sourceforge.net/ and here: http://allegro.cc and when you're ready to install it, I recommend the graphical installer here: http://galileo.spaceports.com/~springs/ (my site)

Allegro is a lib for C/C++ that "wraps" up DirectX/OpenGL into an easy to use interface. Gives you options like put_pixel(), draw_sprite(), play_sound(), and set_video_mode(). It makes input, graphics, sound, and loading compressed data files a breeze. Comes with good documentation.
