CDX - Wrapper classes for DirectX (Free)

I think they're pretty cool and I'm currently using it to write a "shmup" (shoot 'em up).

They've basically wrapped DirectX and added a few classes to support 2D and 3D games programming, although I haven't checked out the 3D classes yet.

I find it quite useful and easy to use and would recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to get bogged down by the DirectX COM interfaces.

My site:
http://www.bludstaynesoftware.tk

It's got a few basic C++ tutorials and one on tile engines. It's a work in progress, so don't expect too much out of it.

My Site
I am developing a Basic language for game development that is open GL based and I have tutorials once I finish transfering the content over to my new portal i made.

RoD

needs proper language support installed but a decent site it looks

v3ct0r_sect0r

Well thanks, but i just redid the whole site to look better. I will take your advice and add the language support. I am going to probably add the content to the site today. I now use snartor's ezportal instead of mine, but it is nicer. lol

RoD

i meant the link i posted, but your sites nice too

I would've loved that tutorial if...if I had Windows lol.

This site just came out this week. Has a few lessons right now, and more are on the way. Also has source code for games, more to be added as well.

It's a Game Programming Wiki. (You guessed that because it has wiki in the address, right?)

there are books and games with source in the files section.
