Complete Beginner of C++ Graphics Programming(Help in simple checker game)

[klamgade]

Hi ! I am going to start making a simple checkers game. Could any one give an idea which part to begin with and any good resource that i can learn from? What actually i can do in the initialise and draw functions
Thanks.

#include"ccc_win.h"
// main function for the execution of a graphics program
int ccc_win_main()
{
  // piece positions on the board
	const int numRows = 8;
    const int numCols = 8;
	int board[8][8];  // rowsxcolumns 8x8 square of a checkers board
	int new_game ;
	int exit_program;

	// result of the game
	int result ;
	do
	{
      Initialise(board);  // calling Initialise function 
	  Draw(board); // calling Draw function
	  result = PlayGame(board); // calling play function 

	  // wait for new game or exit game button click
	  while (result != new_game && result != exit_program)
	  {
		  // get a mouse Click
	  }

	} while(result == new_game);

	return 0 ;
}

// Function to initialize the board
void Initialise(int board)
{

// to draw a base big 8x8 square with small square drawn alternatively on top of the board
	PenWidth pen1 = PenWidth(5);
	PenColour redPen = PenColour(255 , 0,0);
	PenColour blackPen = PenColour(0,0,0);
	PenWidth penB = PenWidth(5);
	BrushColour blackBrush = BrushColour(0,0,0);


// Line and points for the line
	Point origin(0,0);
	Point p(4 , 3);
	Point p1(-7,7) , p2(7,7);
	Line myLine(origin , p);
	Rectangle square(p1 , p2);


// to draw a  black border of the board draw rectangle
	cwin<< penB << blackBrush << square ;


}
// Function to draw the board
void Draw(int board)
{

}
