I have been trying all day to learn how to use direct draw to start a 2d game...but every time I do anything it give me an error in compiling... I cant even get a window for direct draw to initalize...idk what I am doing wrong, but I know that it is something. can anyone help me out by telling me what to do with direct draw what I did was start out and opened borland...then included the ddraw.h file so I could use direct draw functions, and then I type in the code to intialize the window and everything and when I run, nothing happens, or it has an error... can someone show me what to put for the code and where to start in borland c++...because I dont have a clue what im doing and I really need some help getting started.. all of the tutorials that i found online were confusing and didnt tell me where to start..it just said put this code in...and in borland, you put it in and I either get an error or the form pops up and nothing happens.. someone plz help me get started, thanks much -- Jason C++ Programmer AIM - GT70sgt Lead Guitar in Distorted Play
