Simple DirectX engine

[CyberCarsten]

Hi
I once had a simple DirectDraw game engine that came with a book, but it is not compatible with DirectX 9, so I need to find a new one. Anyone know where I can find 2D engine that makes a simple game loop, can create bitmap object etc.???
It must be written in C++.

You might be able to start with the Basis example posted by NoteMe and Electroman and go from there. It isn't exactly what you want, in fact, it might be too early a start for you, but it is nicely written.

Yeah it is, but why do you want to use C++ .NET? The DDraw in DX9 is for managed code, and is not any better then the one in DX7. It is just a wraped up version for .NET. Nothing more.

Hi
I got my old engine working fine with DX9

DX is COM based. It will always be backward compatible. At least untill They strip out everything and call it WGF. Then I am not sure anymore what will happen.
