If you feel lazy, you may malloc bunches of memory, create several windows and threads then leave them while relying on the OS to do the cleaning up for you. It doesn't guarantee everything will be properly cleaned up, especially if your app is... |

You can pack user input data then transfer through local network. There're two instances:
You let your game handles outer input. It may bring more complexity to the game if it is originally not intended for network playing.

Find path to a Folder (C++)

You may use shell's SHGetSpecialFolderPath () / SHGetFolderPath () functions. The most important parameter is the folder ID, which you can look up at MSDN.

Use a da... |

Drawing Part of a Bitmap Image
