2D in DirectGraphics
Author
I was wondering if, from a 2D standpoint, I should use transformed or un-transformed co-ordinates. Are their any real differences between the two for 2D games?
hmm., with transformed vertices, you don't have to care about the various transformation, ie, world/view/proj,
with untransformed vertices, you'll need to make a ortho proj. matrix, this make all objects appear in equal size regardless of distance from the camera
i also would like to know which method is more efficient or better?

You should have a look at the ID3DXSprite-Interface. It was designed to close the gap, that DirectDraw left. You don''t have to worry about transformations and stuff, and you have all the features like clipping/rotation/... (If you don''t need these features anyway and just want to blit rectangles to the screen, i would recommend ImageSurfaces)
Hope this helped.

Vampir: I have a small app that I made working with transformed coords and it loads a textureonto a quad and rotates it and scales.
I want to be able to use rotation, scaling and alpha-blending in the app.
I''m pretty sure I heard that the ID3DX-Sprites were considered slow in directX 8.0. I''m not sure if it has been fixed in 8.1, or am I totally wrong?

Well I am still searching for the best method to combine 2D isometric graphics with alpha blending an real time lighting.
