    Re: Book Advice

    No, my book has nothing to do with DX at all. I'm not anywhere near competent enough to write a book about 3d programming. I'm not bad at 2D which is what i'm writing about.

    Oops my mistake, i thought it was about managed DX (2D aspects).

    I think you might find my chapters interesting note God its so frustrating that I can't tell you about it.

    Imagine some parts of 2D DX9 but without having to mess around with the DX bit. Is that vague enough?

    Re: [VB.NET]Book Advice

    Yeah, just make sure to class everything up, so i don't have to do it for you......sprite classes with transparent background pathced up so you can load it to one back buffer or what ever you .NET freaks do.


    *Walks to the library to borrow a .NET book*


    PS: but I mean it though. You are sooo going to sign that book, or I won't buy it. And you should address me in the acknowledge (SP?) bit...
