Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of any really good directplay articles that use DirectX 7, and specifically ones that deal with computer games that run in full screen. I was looked in the MS SDK and found the example SimpleConnect which is something that would be perfect for an article if someone wants to write about that and how it works, but instead of making it a simple windows, instead make it a simple full screen DirectDraw app, all the windows stuff in there was totally confusing me. So if anyone wants to write a simple article on that it would be great!! Or if you know of a good book I can buy on the subject or other good articles on the net i can find, i would much appreciative. Possibility

I think most people wouldn''t want to write an article on DX at this time since DX8 (which is a major ugrade from the prev. versions) is going to released soon.
I myself am not going to go into directplay until dx8 is out.

I know, i was thinking the exact same thing too when I wrote that above, but that is why I asked if anyone knows of any current books that cover the subject really well from a beginner to intermediate level.

there''s a decent one in the gdnet resources section altho it doesn''t cover lobby''s. The msdn has good examples to go off. I can''t think of any books that cover it off hand...
