Are you talking about Cg the shading language or C as in the programming language?

C as in programming language...
By the way.. nice signature!!

Oh. For that the best place for you to start is the OpenGL redbook.
http://www.opengl.org/documentation/red_book_1.0/

You might also wanna look at the NeHe tutorials at nehe.gamedev.net

You'd need a video card that supports OpenGL else everything would be very slow.

Actually I wanted it for my final year project.. I dont think we would need to go to opengl extent.. just plain cga graphics I suppose ;p

C doesn't have any graphics libraries of its own. You must use an API to do your graphics. OpenGL is clean, easy to use and newbie friendly. Thats why I suggested it.

I think by C he must mean *shudder* Turbo C.

If I see anybody willingly use Turbo C, I become despondent and suicidal.

LOLZZZ!! But what can I do.. part of the syllabus!

^^Are you in final year of engineering? Then $crew the syllabus. Do whatever you think is the best to do. Fact of the matter is Turbo C deserves to be buried. Its just a pathetic implementation of C and if you restrict yourself to it, you'd have a tough time in the industry after you get out of college.
