Write directly to screen with c++
<p>Hello I am new to c++ and am wondering where to go about looking to print directly to the screen? For example the HUD interface that appears on laptops when you change the volume.  I'm not really looking for any fancy graphics, just, say, a variable or info from a file.</p>

<p>I've tried googling but havn't come up with anything yet.  So...where should I begin looking?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
