well fleabay do you have any help for my problem

well dx9 is new to me and yes I enjoy it even though it is difficult

I am not giving up on programming, I am not the best, but I try hard. I am still studying my c++ book and am on the chapter on recursion

While recursion is a useful concept, I don't think it will help you with your current trouble areas, which seems to be not quite being able to create some structure in your problem so it becomes easier to solve it.

Working on that may be more useful for you.

Did you ever try solving programming exercises or write eg a hangman game? No DX9 setup, just a main function that runs the computation and prints the result. Try to use functions that each do some part of the computation.

Before you start to make video games, learn how to ask questions.
