Check the Games forum on this site. I've seen some good tutorials there.

theres not much directx3d stuff in there. if there even is any...

[mpdeglau]

Check this out. Don't know if it's what you want, but it looks like it's for beginners with Direct3d.

There are some tutorials/examples in the directX SDK.

where in it?


EDIT: nm i found it. thanks everyone.

well i looked at the sdk samples and none show how to draw images and such without doing a bunch of extra crap. the tutorial on how to draw a triangle works if i wanna just do triangles. anyone know any good tutorials or samples?

Did you go to the link that I posted? I found this questionI am trying to use DirectX to make a 2D game. Is this not what you want to do? It then links to a tutorial.

Edit
Nevermind. Just noticed it's in C++

I found a tutorial on directx-directdraw. Microsoft is warning that it may be discontinued. However, it seems easier to use than directx-3D

tutorial

As to mpdeglau link, it looks a little old. It only talkes about directX in terms of com components and not .net. Would be good for vb6.

My opinoin is that if you don't have time to learn c/c++/c#, then you wont have time to learn directX-3D. It seems so complicated.

well i wanna use directx3d because directdraw has way to many problems. i know how to use directdraw but it keeps locking my computer on errors and such so i wanna just use directx3d
