i ordered a book "game programming all in one", but it isn''t coming until the 5th of feb, and i want to go ahead and get started without it. i want to create my 2d game using directdraw. but a lot of the tutorials leave out parts and my project never compiles. do any of you have/know where i can get a shell program for making 2d games using directdraw (in c++), with the things like window creation and fullscreen modes and initialization already taken care of? thanks!
i code therefore i am.
