You should look at SDL libraries.  I doubt anything better for game
libraries exist that is cross platform.  I believe all the games ported
to Linux were done using SDL (which Loki originally developed).  It also
works on windows so the same code with some minor changes can be
compiled and run on both unix and windows and I believe even Mac OS X.
DevC++ IDE (free) for windows also has support for it for those that
wish to play on windows instead of linux.
