How can I create animations using the C++ graphics API?

To create animations in C++, you can use libraries like OpenGL or DirectX. Do you have a specific library in mind?

I'm thinking of using OpenGL. What are the basic steps?

First, set up your OpenGL context. Then, create a rendering loop where you can update your animation frames and draw them.

What about handling user input during the animation?

You can use event handling functions to capture user input and modify your animation based on that input.

Can you give an example of a simple animation?

Sure! A simple example is moving a square across the screen. You would update its position in each frame based on a timer.
