A user is seeking a simple graphics library for C on Windows 7 that is not OpenGL or GDI. The primary requirement is the ability to plot pixels on the screen, either in a window or directly in the console.

The focus remains on finding a straightforward solution for basic graphics rendering in C.

Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
