im interested in creating a dos-based, graphical game (for instance, LucasArt classics such as monkey island, sma and max, and indiana jones)... I have the entire game basically planned out with some variables and classes drawn out, but i do not know how to make it graphical... all i know is that there are about 3-4 layers (foreground, middleground, background, sky) and that sprites can change layers as they pass certain boundaries, which can also help them change maps... I am not interested in scrolling maps tho... i dont want to complicate myself too much... anyway heres what i really need: a tutorial, website, or example to show me HOW to do 2D adventure-type games in DOS... i tried DirectX''s DirectDraw, but i still cant seem to understand... all i get are the concepts, but not the code... anyway, can anybody help me? BTW, i have NO experience in graphical games BUT i have completed every example, every quiz, and read every chapter in the "Learn C++ in 21 Days" book

OMG, you don''t know all the DirectX code and then want to switch back to DOS. STOP!!! Noone here(Except a few) know all or some of the DirectDraw stuff. It''s alot of code wich you mostly write once or twice(You''ll write your own Wrapper). I know some of the basic DirectDraw code but not all. So, get back into DirectDraw and make yourself a procedural wrapper(Just a header file with all the functions you''ve learned/written so far). I choose this path too and coverted it later into a class. But remember, NEVER TRY TO LEARN ALL DIRECTDRAW CODE. It''s almost impossible!

Hmm, well DOS and DirectX dont come together.
WIN32 and DirectX do, so learn some basic WIN32 and then come back!
