    Hey, i've been learning some c++ over the summer, and now i'm getting into directX so that some day i may be able to make Contra style scrolling 2D shooters :) Just wondering, I'm learning DirectX with some old information, is there any funtion to load bitmaps into memory in the new versions of DX, or do I still have to write/"borrow" some seperate code to do this? THX!

    Im sure it does , just install the MSDN and do a search.

    of if your just getting into programming, go to www.wotsit.org
    to get descriptions of file formats.
    get the bmp one and try and code a bmp loader.

    tis very simple and good practice.

    write out some pseudo code first and think about it.
