I have been trying to get into direct x programming so i could make my own game engin but im having some difficulties.. I dont really wanna have to go out and a buy another book. But im having a hard time getting the hang of this stuff. I have been trying to figure out how to do a few things like some of these questions: How do I generate a bunch of tiles on the screen so that when I hit a arrow key or something it does "scrolling" so that it makes you move around but then even harder is trying to figure out how to detect if you collide with a object like a tree or a wall I just need some help does anyone know some places I could look at that explain in great detail or can anyone help me with this circumstance I''d be extremely greatful. I just want to make a simple game where you can walk around a map that can detect if u collide into stuff and such nothing big just a simple idea on how to figure out how to program this stuff I have been doing C++ for a long time now but this area is hard for me if somone can help please reply on this post or ICQ me at 56476919 thanks again!
