Suppose your game engine is built on the direct x api but it then has a new api system which makes using directx api much easier. Are you allowed to use the direct x api within the other api.

yes,i am almost done with incorperating dx into mfc in fact I just posted a question in general programming,when i complete it i will post the program and steps i used to obtain it

Whats mfc

Microsoft Foundation Classes. A wrapper for the Win32 API.

Is it easier to ascess win 32 apps with this wrapper

MFC is there to provide an OO aproach to Windows programming, which should makes things simpler for the developer. There are classes that you derive from depending on what you want to do - derive from CWnd when dealing with initialisation and such, CDialog when working with dialogs etc etc.

IS there a wrapper which can help in game development

I think that''s called an engine.

try SDL. If you are developing for Windows, it acts as wrapper for Direct X. www.libsdl.org.
