Direct X
Author
Where is a good place to learn direct x and where can I find a good place to download Direct X 8.0? What type of requirements do you have to have to download this? thanx
Download DirectX 8.1 SDK from Microsoft, find it through Google.
As for the best place to learn, pick up a good book. I can recomend "Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus" by André LaMothe. It great for learning the very basics.
And apart from that, I''d say you are in the best place to learn really. Everyone on these forums will gladly help you with any question that you might have. And there are plenty of great tutorials on this site.
Good luck.
Ooh, Yay. ATI made an ad that made the best and most informative forum on the planet totally horrible to browse, and it even crasches IE ever three minutes!
So should I buy a Radeon? naaah!

Check out http://www.andypike.com/tutorials/directx8/ ...some pretty good tutorials there.
If you have some sort of background on C/C++ programming, the Microsoft DirectX SDK comes with a very detailled help file explaining how to use the SDK and so forth.
There''s a couple of examples that come with it that, while their coding may be somewaht unclean in some places, is a pretty good reference.
You can fill in the gaps by wandering around the files on gamedev, most of them cover various DirectX libraries quite well.
