   DX9 and 2D
  Hello I just want to get some thoughts on using Dx9 for a 2D game. I understand that they combined the draw and 3d parts of directX under the direct 3d but I wanted to know if anyone out there has made any 2d games with it. I fig you can do it but it seems all the books and web sites talk about making 3d games with it and nothing about 2d so any help on finding information on using it for 2d would also be great 
Read the FAQ.2D is more than possible in DX9. How do you think modern games do their health/ammo displays?
