Thread: Code Blcoks: what is the best Directx tutorial for start?

i'm starting with directx with Code Blocks, but i never had programmed it.
can anyone advice 1 nice tutorial for start?
i did the search, but i have seen 2 problems:
1 - some code have errors;
2 - it's too complex for start and difficulty to understand it.
so can anyone advice me?

it does not really have anything to do with code blocks, code blocks is just a platform to write your code in and it gives you a button to "push" to make compiling your code a little easier. You just need to search for how to code for DIrectX with whatever platfrom you're using. IE. Linux MAC OSX, Windows, Uniux, DOS (??).

as far as Q2, "it's too complex for start and difficulty to understand it."
then start with something more simple then work your way into it, DerictX isn't going anywhere any time soon. At least I don't think so.

have to do with compiler and it's headers files. my actual mingw GCC compiler it's limited. and, for now, i can use the DirectX 9. but no 11 or above
what i mean about errors and complex have to do with ANCI code. the GCC uses 1 code, but can be a little different on Visual Studio.
the manual that i found about DirectX was the best for start:
- DirectXTutorial.com (some tutorials are for be pay... but it's good for we start);
- 01. DirectX 9 - Braynzar Soft Tutorials [Collection] - Braynzar Soft (it's free, but it's for Visual Studio.. so it can have a little differences).
like i said every tutorials(autors) have their own way for explain.
1 little advice for all programmers: it's best use the ZeroMemory() function for change all instance structure members to zero:

Code:

ZeroMemory(&StructureInstance, sizeof(StructureName));

now we can change only some and not all members values.
thanks for all
