I've read that video games can be made with C++, but it can't just be C++, there must be other programs. How do you write graphics with words? I know of turtle graphics, but I'm sure imagines involving thousands of polygons don't use that.

A spammer's worst nightmare
They usually use DirectX or OpenGL for the graphics.

Writes binary right handed and hex left handed
So you are saying that to create a 3d object only coding is required? I think some 3d software should be used and then imported into your project?

The Crazy One
You can create graphics with only code...what do you think those 3D graphics you make are? (- the text format ones like .obj...)
And yes, the most common ones are OpenGL and DirectX. DX has premade model loader functions, while OpenGL you would need to download/make one. If you do, go with .obj, which unlike formats like max, its just a list of vertices and faces.
