Hello Zoe, if you haven't already, you should check out SDL http://www.libsdl.org/index.php It's an OpenGL based cross-platform framework, originally made for 2D and 3D games. However, it has grown to be quite powerful and also supports sound, network, lots of image formats, and whatnot. There are loads of tutorials and documentation to get you started on that site, as well as throughout the internet, too. Don't know if it fits your requirements, but definitely worth a look.
