    DirectX Version Thingy

    Hi. I'm learning DirectX from a tutorial, and I'm pretty sure it's an older version than my SDK.

    What are the DirectX 8.1 equivelants to these?

    "CreateOffScreenSurface(pdd, bm.bmWidth, bm.bmHeight);"
    and
    "DDCopyBitmap(pdds, hbm, bm.bmWidth, bm.bmHeight);"
    What will people say if they hear that I'm a Jesus freak?
    What will people do if they find that it's true?
    I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak, there is no disguising the truth!

    Those look like helper functions that may have been part of ddutil.h (which is often included in the SDK samples). The DX8 ddutil (in samples/multiimedia/common) wraps alot of these functions into two classes CDisplay and CSurface. CSurface::CreateSurfaceFromBitmap() will create an off screen surface from a bitmap, so you may need something like this. I'm not sure if this has been changed for 8.1 because I don't have the SDK installed on the machine I'm typing this on.
