Managed DirectDraw

btw, im usign it at this point in a 2D fighter project and it is performing well so far, but the lack of documentation is not letting me implement a few "advanced" features and having me experimenting a lot by trial and error which cosumes most of my time....

Look for a DX09SDK folder on your hard drive (it should be the file you unzipped everything to). In there you''ll find samples and tutorials.

Aside from that, you may find these tutorials helpful;

thanks for the info.

direct draw is crap and old, d3d can do just as much, way easier.

you are never going to get anywhere sticking to direct draw

direct draw is old now tho. you are going to end up using d3d anyway, so why not just use it now if it is just as easy to learn

My book has examples of how to do simple sprites using Managed DirectDraw, as well as animating the sprites. It also shows the equivalent Managed D3D code if you want to learn how to move to the more powerful 3d api.

You can find more information here.
