The best framework you have to start from is the SDL (Simple
Directmedia Layer):

http://www.libsdl.org/

The site is full of tutorials, examples, demos and ways to learn how
to write down your own game (not even simple). The key features are
the simple way you can manage interfaces like keyboard and mouse, and
the ability to write 3D application due to the integrated OpenGL
support.

Happy coding
