   Hi ! I am new here !! Please help me!!
  Well! i got the programming basics right along with some nifty tricks in c++ standard graphics library . now  i think of learning  DirectX . Please suggest some tut''s to do this ( in c++).hail c++ , hail god!!! 
  I prefer OpenGL, and if you don''t mind using that I''d suggest checking out NeHe''s page at nehe.gamedev.net. A quick Google search for "DirectX tutorials" turns up a few page, including http://www.andypike.com/tutorials/directx8/ which may or may not be any good (it does appear to be for DX8). YMMV. ;quote:Original post by codekid88  Well! i got the programming basics right along with some nifty tricks in c++ standard graphics library . now  i think of learning  DirectX . Please suggest some tut''s to do this ( in c++).hail c++ , hail god!!!   well first what exactly are you trying to learn?2D programming or 3D programming?you to make 2D or 3D games? (and no, that question is not the same as the prior one)is your target Windows or any platform you can reach?once you narrow it down, then people can direct in the best direction.;  first off, go grap the dx9 sdk. if you have a slower connection, or drop from time to time, i would suggest using a download manager such as gozilla or DAP, be sure you run ad-aware if you use one of these though, they tend to contain spyware. there are some beginning tutorials and masses of commented examples that come right with the SDK, you will need to be able to understand the math, so being up to at least pre-calculus, or trig would really help. Directx may look daunding at first, but it is extrordinarily easy to use and learn.    ___________________-Nicholas Anton-raptor85.siigna.net;  lol. This is just an opinionated observation. No flame intended.I read the topic and I imagined someone running around with their pants of fire. "Ahh! Help, I''m new here. OUCH! Eee,eek! Please help me!"It just made me chuckle;  If you are looking for tutorials, search those in Google. Write "DirectX tutorial" or something. If you have decided whether you want to use 2D or 3D API, you can narrow your search by typing "DirectDraw tutorial" or "OpenGL tutorial" or any tutorial you want.check out GameDev.net Articles & Resourceslinks below:    - Google - MSDN Library - GameDev.net Articles & Resources -  ;  lol@sig   MindEngine Developmenthttp://medev.sourceforge.net
