need game code
I want to write a game in Visual C# .net or Visual C++ .net
using Direct Draw (DirectX 9) .
Could anyone give me some code to a VERY
simple game?
There are not many actual games out there with source code that I know of, never-the-less a simple one. Most of the time, a demo or tutorial focus on an individual aspect of a game (for example, culling, or playing an mp3, or getting mouse input).
However, you may be able to find some games at the GD Showcase. Also, the SDK comes with a simple game that implements most of the DX interfaces.
If you need some more complicated games (in the future, perhaps), the source code to many commercial games (like the quake series) is freely available. You can find a lot of those here

DirectDraw got removed in DirectX 8
You can however render 2D in Direct3D
Did it get removed in DirectX8? No it did not.
Microsoft just stopped updating DirectDraw, so what we got in DirectX7 for DirectDraw is what we may have forever. It''s still there (or at least still in DirectX8, haven''t used DirectX9) but it''s more of a "deprecated" feature.

Not quite. The DirectX 8 SDK/runtime includes all prior versions of DirectX, but you have to link to DirectX 7 (not 8/9) to use DirectDraw.

In DirectX 8 and above there is no DirectDraw. It''s all been merged in DirectX Graphics (which is 3D). To use DirectDraw, you must query the DirectX COM object (using QueryInterface or download the DirectX 7 SDK) for v7, otherwise it won''t work.
