DirectX:DirectDraw
From GPWiki
The wiki is now hosted by GameDev.NET at wiki.gamedev.net. All gpwiki.org content has been moved to the new server. However, the GPWiki forums are still active! Come say hello. DirectDraw is a 2D API, much like SDL. It never made it past version 7 of the DirectX interfaces, but it runs on all versions of Windows. You can define the current DirectX version to be 7 to compile DirectDraw programs using a later Windows SDK (such as the one included with Visual Studio .NET). Note: Microsoft has planned to discontinue support for DirectDraw and any programmers looking to learn directx graphics would be advised to learn Direct3D (which can also be used to create 2D games) |
