Ok, so ive created a nice little two dee game engine using textured quads, it comes up in fullscreen, but all i see is black, and i have a feeling its because all my rendering is being done to the back buffer, is this true? and if so, how do i present my back buffer? just get a pointer to it and use the present function? then what about the primary surface? argh this hurts my brain, especially after an hour of coding

When General Patton died after World War 2 he went to the gates of Heaven to talk to St. Peter. The first thing he asked is if there were any Marines in heaven. St. Peter told him no, Marines are too rowdy for heaven. He then asked why Patton wanted to know. Patton told him he was sick of the Marines overshadowing the Army because they did more with less and were all hard-core sons of bitches. St. Peter reassured him there were no Marines so Patton went into Heaven. As he was checking out his new home he rounded a corner and saw someone in Marine Dress Blues. He ran back to St. Peter and yelled "You lied to me! There are Marines in heaven!" St. Peter said "Who him? That's just God. He wishes he were a Marine."

IDirect3DDevice9 :: Present() is what you're looking for. It swaps the back buffer with the primary.

Call it after EndDrawing(). You can use all NULL parameters.

Edit: Function name got turned into a damn smiley

I belive he is taking about EndScene(). Also, remeber to call SetFVF(D3DFVF_XYZRHW | D3DFVF_DIFFUSE | D3DFVF_TEX1) as you init Direct3D - else you wont see a thing.

Oops, sorry. I have a wrapper function that calls EndScene() and I called it EndDrawing() to confuse myself >_<
