Epic Frustration

Okay, I think, I have finally gotten past my denial. I am going to have to put this game off for a while. I have way too much going on in my crazy life. I really need to focus on school. The book I am reading on DirectX is a joke. I have tried to use the examples and information provided to make this game and every time I turn around I am having to re-code large chunks of the basic parts because what is provided in the book is not properly implemented or explained. The book does not describe things well and like I have said they leave stuff out. I think I am just going to finish reading the text of this book just because I like to finish books I am reading. Then I am going to start over again. I am going to start with small simple apps and games then work my way up. I am going to see if I can find some other DirectX books or tuts somewhere that are good. I think, at first though, I am just going to stick with the help that comes with the DX SDK. Sadly it makes a ton more sense than this book does. I have already written a review of the book.
