    Hi,

    Im looking for some tutorials that will help me with direct draw. The main things i need to be able to do is to load a bitmap and do like transparency (like bitblt) and then to be able to do a collision detect.

    Any ideas for any part of this. I have the load bitmap bit done, its just making bits of it transparnt and collision detection.

    Maybe you could visit fox cool programming site:

    and bitblt is definitely not faster than DDraw
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    I dl fox's demo and when i run it my pc freezes im using bitblt at the moment but it does not cut it. All i want is to load a bmp (i can do that). the main thing is collision detection. The type of game i wanna make islike Zelda (nintendo).
