I gave my 14 year old son a project to learn some C programming over the summer. He has YDL 6.1 installed on his PS3, and he has been viewing youtube C programming lectures by University of New South Wales professor Richard Buckland. While my son has been successful with writing text manipulation programs and the like, I can tell that his interest in writing such programs is dwindling. I think that he is ready to move on to some simple low level graphics programming, such as changing background colors, drawing lines and circles and setting pixels, etc. I could write C programs to do such things a long time ago in the DOS era, but I don't know where to start with YDL and the PS3. Are there any low level graphics libraries available that would work with the C compiler that comes with YDL?
Thank you for any help and/or suggestions,
