   Dev C++ and DirectX 9
  If you currently develop in Dev C++ and use DirectX with it, please keep reading.I have heard that there are problems getting Dev C++ to work with DirectX.Is that true?Are there some tutorials or websites online that can help me get Dev C++ working with DirectX?NOTE:  Yes, I can Google...I am looking for personal recommendations (meaning, websites or tutorials you have used yourself).Thanks,Tom   
  What's wrong with Visual Studio 2005 Express?  It's free, has more functionality then Dev-C++, and links up to DirectX 9 seemlessly.   ;  I second Rob's recommendation. I'm currently using DX9 with VC++ Express and everything is working great. Not to mention VC++ Express is spiffier than Dev-C++. ;)   ;Quote:Original post by Rob LoachWhat's wrong with Visual Studio 2005 Express?

Instead of making them switch over to VC++ Express I thought I would see if Dev C++ could use DirectX just as easily.;Quote:Original post by Tom Knowlton. . .

I have it on my pc, although i didn't use it (I chickened out and switched to allegro =]).  Should be easy to use though, i haven't encountered a devpak that gave me trouble.  If you can't find it let me know..
