I''m not new to game programming, or programming in general. I used to use djgpp and the allegro library and had no problems making tile based games. Recently I bought MS VC++ 6.0 and have begun messing around with it and learning C++ (which is easy since I know C). This is where I came to a problem. I downloaded DirectX, and I can look at the samples and such, but its confusing. It doesn''t explain what 3/4ths of the stuff does, and I havent been able to find any tutorial/documentation that helps me with graphics in windows. I''d even be happy displaying a picture and moving it around a blank screen Any help would be appreciated.

You could take a look at some of the articles on this site. They''re pretty good. If that''s not enough, you should buy a book. I''d recommend Andre LaMothe''s Trick of The Windows Game Programming Gurus.

Hope that helps.
