DX8, hmm??

[KENNNY]

so what does everyone think of DX8 - is d3d easier than it used to be? ddraw is non-existent now, so writing a 2d game is harder..but by forcing us to basically use d3d, theyre making it faster, and you can do fx. thoughts?

I really think all the 2D blit operations are still there! YOu can't replace all this with billboarded stuff!

er..i cant declare a DirectX7 object if i reference the DX8 DLL - u need to reference the old DX7 vb DLL for dx7 stuff it would seem?!
