Hi - i''m creating a graphics engine with C++ and DirectX was recomended to me but I dont know anything about it. Would anyone out there be able to give me some basic information about it and how it would be useful to me? Thanks

Directx is a group of COM objects that let you control things such as sound, video playback, input, and also graphics (The graphics portion is known as D3D and DDraw, D3D does 3d graphics, DDraw is specifically 2D). It would be useful because it does a lot of the lower level portions of a graphics engine for you. (try making your own software engine, its a pain in the @ss)
