Knowledge of Graphics in C++, isn't necessary for you to built games in them.

If you really mean, "simple", by the term, simple games, then you can start with non-graphic games, like Hangman (Word Guessing Game), Tic-Tac-Toe or similar puzzles.
Posssiblities are endless.

if u want to do game programing then u can learn some library like allegro . This library is open source u need to down load binaries of this library and configure it with your
VISUAL C++ compiler and can start programing . just google "how to configure allegro with visual c++". And find some tutorial on allegro. Have fun !

I'd recommend you to make a game using Dark GDK first.Then move on and learn advanced APIs if you want to take it as a career.
