Ive been reading through alot of books and I understand quite a bit but I dont feel like doing all the initialization code. Does anyone know where I can get the most basic,bare bones direct3d engine?

The books I have are basically all when 3d stuff was new so their d3d support is very minimal if any at all.

Check out drunkenhyena.com. He''s got tons of tutorials with source code plus the "dhEngine," which is a basic wrapper for Direct3D.

As to the compile errors, you might want to read his early tutorials. I think he covers setting up your build environment.

You can''t edit the files because they are read-only. Remove the read-only attribute from the files and you should be ok.

Don''t you think that you''re being a little lazy? If you don''t want to that one little thing, then what''re you doing programming. Why don''t you just put it in a class or function?
