ddraw api documentation

DirectDraw is no longer an official component of DirectX, it is now called DirectX Graphics which basically is Direct3D and ID3DXSprite, it was suspended from further development as of DirectX 7 I think.

If you want DirectDraw documentation it is available online on MSDN.

Otherwise I suggest you take a few hours and learn ID3DXSprite instead as it opens up a vast array of new functions available for you, and is faster and will be even faster on newer 3Dcards. It can also easily be extended with 3D or your own 2Dengine which can, truly open up for anything you would ever like to do, not being bound to DirectDraw. (Which is no longer supported)

The .chm is ~5 MB. I have the docs in word format, too, and the ddraw ones are ~320 Kb zipped. I can mail them if you like.

yeah if you can email them to me, that'd be great. i only need the ddraw ones, preferabbly .chm format, but word will work too.

my email should be in my profile, if not:
email them to: ther_ocket_05@h_otmail.c_om (remove underscores)

i greatly appreciate your help, i'll be glad to return the favor
