I''m learning Direct3d right now, and I must say I''m a master of 2d! Well not really, but I can handle anything that isn''t 3d alright. I''m trying to ease my way into direct3d the 3d part of it and my head hurts. Just figuring out the pipeline is a pain in the but. You got to use matrices to transform from model to to cube coordinates, and blah its a pain in the ass.

Anyway I suggest you just try to figure out how to make a 2d platform scroller or something even easier. Then once you have a handle on all the non 3d parts of the API you try to work your way into the 3d part of d3d8.

Like Kylotan said, "You wont find this. Such stuff by its very nature cannot be extremely basic"
