sourcecode??
Author
im trying to find the sourcecode for a 2D tile based rpg that uses windos api and c++ only, no DirectX or mfc or sdl or Opengl or any other graphics library or gdi. please, if you know of any or know of a place where i can find them, tell me. thanks
I think you might find the GDI a pretty big pain in the ass if all you want to do is make a simple game, and pretty darned slow even for beginner projects. Even if you get a GDI game working, the GDI is pretty much a dead-end. That time you spent learning it his somewhat limited application to the rest of the programming world.
The GDI+ is a bit easier to work with if you want to go that direction.
No matter what, though, your going to have to learn a libarary or interface. Why did you pick the GDI to learn? Its hard, ugly and slow.

when i started programming the gdi didn''t look as bad as you say it is, and now that ive been programming w/ the gdi it''s hard to quit. But you mentioned gdi+, whats that? Or do you think DirectX would be the best choice?
