Hello.

I'm thinking about making a game engine, for the experience, knowledge of "what lies under the hood" and to use for game development later on.
Now I wanted to use OpenGL, 'cause I wanted cross-platform, but then I got told that it was C, and that was a big no no to me xP
So I decided to go with DirectX, DirectX 9 more specificly, and would like to be pointed to some nice tutorials, references, anything you think will help me
Thanks in advance!
