Hi there! I''ve noticed there are a LOT of questions about how to get in to DirectX stuff etc. Well my advice is skip all the crappy "Game programming" book titles - work your way to Microsoft DirectX SDK and download a gamedev tutorial called "Code on the Cobb". Alright hold your horses, I KNOW this ain''t the easiest way to get into DX programming but for newbies this will give you all need, both techniques and design tips. Print out some hard copies, and go for it.. I Did, and I made it... // Babar Zafar // Copyright (c) 1982-2000, Parents Inc
