Here it is late at night again and once again I can't seem to sleep so I thought I would just post a little note. I think that I'm going to concentrate on 2D topics for now. I know when you think of Direct3D you probably think of 3D games but 2D games have their place. That and it is a good idea, IMHO, that you have a good understanding of programming and the way that graphics work in 2D before making the move to 3D. There is more math involved with 3D than there is in 2D and it can be confusing, even for experienced programmers.
So, while I'm working on my current project, which is an RPG that I hope to make into an MMO eventually, I will post tutorials about the methods that I have used making the game. Later on today (Sunday) I will be posting an update to my last tutorial. This one will show you how to create two devices used on the same form using panels. If I have time I will add in how to go fullscreen and be able to end the program by pressing the Escape key.
I also want to make these tutorials so those who can't get the latest and greatest equipment can use them. So all of these tutorials will be tested on my second system, an IBM PC 300GL, with 256MB of RAM, a 667MHz processor and a 16MB graphics card running Microsoft Windows XP Pro. SP3.
So stay tuned and look for the next tutorial.
