Someone could, but it is likely no one will.
It is a simple game, but it is sufficiently advanced that if you are brand-new to programming it will take you a while to figure it all out.
Check out SDL http://www.libsdl.org/ a graphics library that works on many, many platforms.
You should also hie yourself over to the PyGame site http://www.pygame.org/news.html to get started. While it is all in python, the SDL library is used (almost) identically in C and C++. The pygame site contains a lot of games and sample/unfinished games that will get you started to working with graphics, events, sprites, and game structure.
Make sure you have a complete plan on everything the game does when you start. If you don't, it is likely you will not be able to add things very easily. If you do, then each piece of the game can be made and tested very easily, until the entire game is done.
Good luck!

Yeah the SDL can take some getting use to but - in the long run the SDL is a very nice graphics libary.
