[copied from my flipcode.com post:] Hey all, Just a quick announcement - I''ve placed my DirectX 8 framework up on sourceforge along with a few quick samples. The framework is very similar to NeHe''s OpenGL framework with a few minor differences. The framework also supports input handling as of the latest release (via DirectInput 8). Currently DirectX Graphics and DirectInput are the only major components of DirectX which are fully supported, however I intend to move DirectAudio amongst other things into the framework as time rolls on. If anyone''s interested, please feel free to download it and have a play around. It''s excellent for bashing quick samples together, as I found out With a bit more thought you could probably develop a simple game on its foundations too. Anyway, look, see, complain, applaud! http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/tkf Tom L
