As BCS already said, Enki for the first two (although it's very sparsely 
documented at the moment).

For graphics, there are a few libraries available, but I'll plug my own 
(since it's the only one I know anything about :P):

Granted, cairo isn't the fastest, but it has good quality, and is easy 
to use.  I actually thought about writing a simple 2D fractal program 
using cairo, but never got around to it :P

As for what you want to use it for... sounds fun but very tricky.  Best 
of luck :)
