I have read a few books on C++ and right now I'm on Game Programming all in one 2nd ed., and I can't follow it too well because the author doesn't explain his code very much at all. The book uses allegro. Is there any other good 2d allegro books, or 2d books for any other platforms such as directx?

I would try using SDL (http://www.libsdl.org/)
There are some very good tutorial sites: http://cone3d.gamedev.net/cgi-bin/index.pl?page=tutorials/gfxsdl/index
and
http://mavweb.mnsu.edu/longaj/

SDL makes 2D very simple, IMHO.

You could check out my SDL tutorials, just click the siggie. They take you though the creation of Tetris, Pong, and Breakout.
If you'd like a little less hand holding, you could check out this site. It's a pretty solid reference for SDL.
