Hi I have an idea for a small space sombat game. The game be contained in a porsion of space that is much bigger than the screen. Like a side scroller but can scroll in any direction up to a pre defined limit. I dont know if i am explaining well but i will try. Say i want an areana 1000x1000 but i only want to see 200x200 at any time. I would like to do this in DirectX. Just wondering if their are any articals out there to give me a head start? thanks

You will want to look at implementing tile-based maps. Check out the appropriate articles on this very site.
