Hello everyone. Ive been messing with some mASM lately, just something to do to pass the time over the summer. I made a few programs, nothing major. Just a few things Ive made in VB and decided to try to convert to ASM to see if they would work.

All of which have worked pretty well so far. I'm looking for some help with some animation things. From what I can see, the used API deals with DIB and DirectX. I cant find any working tutorials for what Im trying to accomplish though.

There are many programs on the net that use what Im trying to do, but just no tutorials, example codes, ect on the subject / issue. I'm asking if anyone has any info on this subject, if they could help me out.

What Im trying to do is something like this:
http://72.29.82.57/gtrainfiles/SWAT....RN.FANAION.ZIP

The graphics effects that are used are what Im trying to learn how to do. Starfields, scrolling text loaded from a bitmap font file, moving pictures ect. I know how to do the music, using BASSMOD which works great.

I've searched the net for the past week trying to find anything on any of these things. But the most I could come up with is DOS run .COM programs. I'm trying to do this in a single form, such as the example above, like painting to a picture box, or a created reserved section of the form.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
