1. Too many ways to do the same thing!

I just recently started to program in Windows. The definitions for the
code are kind of confusing and there are a lot of different code for bitmaps.
Which would be the best for game programming? For example what two pieces
of code would equal DOS's:
read_bitmap()
and display_image
or maybe there is a better way of doing it in windows for game programming.
I would be using the code to move a character around a background. Both the
character and the background would be bitmaps made in paint.
thanks :),

That would be setPixmap and copyBlt() but they're not exactly the
same as their dos counterparts. You'll need to read up on them in
the docs.

There ARE other ways to do it in windows but the routines I
mentioned are what I considder the "better way"
