Hey everyone hows it going. This is my first post in these forums. I have a question for all of you. I''ve been programming in c++ for a while, mainly doing console programming but now decided to move onto more challenging stuff. I always was interested in programming games but never actually did any, i''m interested in only programming 2D games for now so this is where my question fits in. Is it still worth learning "DirectX 7" because of directdraw? I know that now "directX" is at version 9 but it seems to me that these newer versions are more leaned towards 3D gaming than 2D.Please i''d like evreyones opinion on this question.
Thank you all for your time and cooperation, hope to do some future projects with some of you here once i learn the basics and have a small game built.
