GDI+ for basic stuff?

Is it possible to use GDI+ for basic games? eg: just 2d low frame rate stuff.
I''ve got some basic rendering working with no flicker but that might just be luck!
thanks!

Double Buffer your GDI and you see very little flicker. Made asteroids and pacman in GDI only. They came out fine, you sometimes see slight tearing of graphics due to "vertical retrace" I think, but Double Buffer with GDI removes most flicker. With DirectX you can fix even the "vertical retrace" issue.

ahh ok, so is double buffering a concept or setting? I''m doing this in C# so it looks a bit different from your c++ code.
It''s a concept. The idea is that you draw everything to a DC in memory and then draw that DC to the screen so that all the changes are shown within 1 monitor refresh. This way you wont have the problem of tearing (flickering).
