    Question Learning

    Basically, I'm wondering how to get started learning some of this more advanced graphics stuff. I only started programming about 15 months ago, so I have zero experience with the advanced stuff like this. I've done some stuff with OOP and ActiveX controls, but nothing with advanced graphics stuff like for making games. Since I would like to eventually become a games programmer, I figure this's pretty important. I've done very little API and no DirectX, but would like to learn.

    So... how would you suggest I start?

    I would suggest learning BitBlt as a base for Graphics. Sound and Input are up to you...

    That's a tutorial I wrote. Anyways, it goes over BitBlt just enough to show you transparent sprites and even colour dipping (as I've coined it).

    (Just a heads-up)
