Where do I put the code for loading the bitmaps. I''v read the tutorial(Game Programming Genesis) here on gamedev.net. I''m Using that function at the buttom. Where should I call it from and What should i put for the first argument? Thanx

Is it because it deletes it at the end of the function?(just thought about that)

Don''t know if this''ll help, but here''s what I do:


int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
					 LPSTR lpCmdLine,int nCmdShow)
{
	MSG  msg;
	BOOL GO=TRUE;

	if(!initApp(hInstance,nCmdShow))  /**/
		return FALSE;

	while(GO)
	{
		if(PeekMessage(&msg,NULL,0,0,PM_REMOVE))
		{
			if(msg.message==WM_QUIT)
				GO=FALSE;
			TranslateMessage(&msg);
			DispatchMessage(&msg);
		}
		else
			renderFrame();  /**/
	}
	return (msg.wParam);
}

In the initApp() function I do all the windows initialization stuff, after that it calls a function that initializes directDraw (and loads bitmaps). Hope that helps.
