Hey everyone I have a couple of problems I'm hoping you may be able to help me with. I've searched multiple times for substantial DX10 Tutorials, but I've not been able to find anything for what I'm looking for. Essentially, I want to get back into game programming. As for where I left off...I made a breakout clone in DX8 about 2 years ago during my sophomore year at h.s. I have decent knowledge of Java (5 on the APCS exam) and a general knowledge of C++, so the main reason for this is to resubmerge myself into C++ through game programming. So, does anyone have any suggestions for 2D DX10 tutorials that I could use to help me make another breakout or pong clone in DX10? Thanks for any help guys, B.

Start with the Basic Tutorials from Microsoft. For simple 2D games you only have to go as far as Tutorial 4, then move on to learning textures if you want to draw images, but for the simplest pong and breakout you shouldn't even need that to begin with.
