newbie question about graphics in c
September 19, 2002 10:14 PM
Ive been learning c and i want to program a game, but i dont even know how to add graphics. All the tutorials ive read on the web just described variables, control flow, pointers, and things like that but have said nothing about graphics.
Can any1 help me out with adding graphics to my program?

i''ll give the same advice everyone is giving.
just do the game in DirectDraw. if you get Windows Game Programming for Dummies or better yet Tricks of the Game Programming Gurus (Tricks is a more indepth version of Dummies, both written by Andre LaMothe) you''ll get DirectX 6.1 and 7, respectively, and be able to write 2D games easier and with more success than with DOS.
i think most will agree. plus most tutorials on DOS game programming have been "hidden".
