Hi all,

This probably gets asked a lot, but can anyone point me to a good link or book discussing how to do 2D in DX9 (and not in bloody C#)? ...I was using "Beginning Game Programming" by Jonathan Harbour (Thomson publishing), but after trying (and failing miserably) to compile his source-code repeatedly (I found out later that his source code is actually outdated and unsupported), I'm at my wits end and about to give up on DX... Google searches, browsing Amazon, and even searches on this board-- none have yielded good results.... Maybe I'm just an idiot when it comes to searching, but I'm really about to give up on this and go learn ASM instead (hey, at least it's straightforward).

So, does anyone know of a good tutorial or book that will address 2D in DX9?

Thanks a ton guys (and gals!)
