I don't really understand what you mean. I think you're just doing some console mode programming, am I right?

If you want to do game programming, with 3D, etc. then you need to pick up some 3D-engine/framework. One alternative could be OpenGL with - or without GLUT. It's easy to use and easy to install. There's a lot of resources around the internet, so it shouldn't be a problem learning it.

Ok, thanks alot man, you can see that i dont know what the beep im doing with C++ Lol. Can you link me to any of those please?

Hehe.
I will suggest you to really learn the language and get a grab of it. In that way it would be easier for you to make some game programming later. You've to learn how everything functions, etc.

Click here to go to OpenGL.
Click here to go to GLUT

Anyone know of a free 2d/3d graphics libraries?

Look at my previous post - I gave you one, OpenGL.
GLUT is a "helper" for OpenGL, if you think OpenGL is too hard.

What is the best 3D free one, do you know?

I strongly recommend that you back off from creating your game and learn the basics of C++ first. From what I have seen, you don't know the language well enough to make a game, yet.
