I think you might mean Direct3D. DirectPlay is the multiplayer functions. Direct3D or DirectX Graphics is the graphics core.

Doesn''t matter much.

There are sample applications for both D3D and DPlay in the DirectX SDK. They''re located in the samples directory of the SDK for VB and VC++, and include source code.

If you need the SDK you can get it here (around 100mb download):

no sorry...
ok i add some info...
i already finished 3 directdraw games... dont want to get into direct3d yet... however the only directx feature i got problems with is directplay
so i need some source code (not the microsoft samples... i hate them)
it would be perfect if i could get the source of a working directdraw game with directplay... cause i familiar with the ddraw structure so i think i could find out on my own how its working

so if anyone already coded a fullscreen ddraw game including directplay features please answer

DirectPlay 8 is excellent. The best examples are the ones in the SDK.

I gotta go with Buster on this. Direct Play 8 provides a comprehensive solution for many kinds of multiplayer games.

Not to mention -- it does everything for you

what exactly is wrong with sdk samples? sure, they may seem complicated, but just go through them slowly and try a divide-and-conquer approach.

because Winsock is not a Game-NetAPI.
DirectPlay was made to make games with.

i begin to wonder if noone in here created a small game that is using directplay yet...

@pipo no i want directplay only... i

m not interested that much in network programming...(my main focus is on game logics not on the surrounding stuff) i just want to get it working... just like directinput/directdraw/directsound/directmusic they all work fine and i found enough references to find out how

just directplay seems to be a blackbox...(and thats not the first board i

m asking for that)
