I have a question about placing code such as graphics. Do I need to create a resource file so that the complie time can be shorter? or do I need to include the code when I initialize everthing in the WinMain.cpp file? WinMain.cpp is an example of the file that I use for the main .cpp text...duh like you guys didn''t know that. Remember just been in the industry about less than 6 months or so. Thanks for the understanding...eh!

It depends on what you''re doing and your own preference. For smaller applications/games making images resources works great. However, for larger applications/games adding your art and sound as resources to the executable will make it extremely large.

As for the second question, including stuff in the WinMain file, I don''t understand what you are trying to get across. Could you reword that?

I know only that which I know, but I do not know what I know.

What I meant to say was that do you need to intialize the graphic functions (i.e. DirectDraw) in the .cpp file that contains the main event loop or do I initialize it in another .cpp file?

Sorry for the lateness for the reply I was having problems with my server.
