   DirectX stuff
  Hi everyone,I'm switching from 2d to 3d (DirectX). I've wanted to ask what libraries  i have to download in order to use it? I know about directX sdk but maybe i'll need something else?I'm using dev-cpp.   
  If memory serves, I think you need to download the version of the DirectX libraries that Dev-cpp can use. I think that can be done from inside Dev-cpp, using its own package manager thingy.If you've already got that and have been using it to write 2d stuff in DirectX, though, then you don't need anything else.   ;  Well, I've been using SDL for 2d so i don't have any directx libraies.Are these libraries for dev-cpp are in exchange of directx sdk or are they additional and i need directx sdk anyway? I would like to know because it takes some time to download directX sdk and i wouldn't like to do it if i won't need it.   ;  Hey,I am using DirectX with Dev-CPP also.  It is kind of confusing because Dev-CPP's compiler reads .a and not .lib very well.  To get pass this, I would follow this little post by gamedev.net's very own Drew_Benton.Clicky (scroll down to I think it is the 4th post...the first one posted by Drew).So yes...first of all...download the DirectX SDK.Good luck on your journey with DirectX!!Chad
