I'm really confused.

You use Ubuntu, but you have a C:\ drive?

You use ubuntu, and therefore have access to gcc, but use the Borland
compiler instead?

I think the best thing is for you to forget this 'graphics mode' and
instead look at a library like rubygame.

ok, I'll try to find it. I use NetBeans, could you drive me step by
step?

Thanks!

Your IDE is irrelevant. (But consider abandoning NetBeans and using
something like KomodoEdit.)

No. That's not what this list is for. If you need that kind of
handholding, buy a book.
