    A simple 2D game (that I can't make :()

    Hi,

    I have just started to use DX, and I was wondering if anyone had a good 2D tutorial.

    I am thinking of writing a 2D game, but I would like to use lighting and shadows, so do I need to be using 3D?

    I would also like to know what graphics software to use.

    Thanks to all who help,

    Lighting and shadow can be done in 2D. I don't really have any good links on DX though, except these ones:

    Graphics software - I would suggest Adobe photoshop.

    I use Paint Shop Pro from www.jasc.com for all my graphics needs - it's way cheaper than PS and almost as good. And it doesn't hog down you system as PS does... (But I have to admit I really like the new "heal" thingie in the new PS...)
    Never argue with fools, they will only drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience.

    Q: How do you tell an experienced hacker from a novice?
    A: The latter thinks there's 1000 bytes in a kilobyte, while the former is sure there's 1024 meters in a kilometer
