title: What simple C graphics library would you recommend?
body: <p>I'm learning C and I would like to start graphics programming, but start it simple, without spending hours just to understand what functions will I need.</p>
  
  <p>I would like something to draw pixels, squares, maybe sprites, simple stuff, like in BASIC.</p>
  
  <p>I tried SDL and got overwhelmed very quickly. Same with Allegro, it's hard to get it to work on Xcode 4 and documentation is lacking.</p>
  
  <p>Maybe there is some custom one? Also would be nice if it works on Mac OS.</p>
  
  <p>Any book recommendations are welcome, like simple C graphics programming or game programming, whatever.</p>
