We need a little more information like what development environment you are using and what API. Is this Win32? something on Linux or the Mac?

If this is Win32 you could use a modeless dialog to accomplish the same thing.

For high performance it often makes sense not have many windows, but draw the text direct on screen (better screenbuffer).

It really depends on your framework. So we need it - or ask in a specialized forum for that framework.

Start with a frame window that has a client area to hold the actual game windows. Start by showing the first window in the client area. Then as the game progresses remove the current window and add the next in sequence. See http://winprog.org/tutorial/[^] and Win32 Programming - FunctionX[^] for some useful tutorials.
