Do you have a question about DirectX?
Author
Next Wednesday, I''ll be meeting with the head of the DirectX team at the GDC. If anyone has a question they''d like me to ask him, post it here.

No question. I just wanted to tell you to have some fun

Yeah I guess you could ask them when they''re gonna create

There are probably a few parts in ASM for optimization.
But most of it is probably C++. I don''t see anybody doing COM programming in ASM!!

(I don''t have dx8 so this question may not be relevant anymore)
Are they going to support direct z-buffer reading (somehow faster without lock) as it could speed up dynamic hidden object/surface removal and lensflare & light rendering, etc quite a lot.

Will they be supporting the VSA100s T-Buffer in DX9? I know it''s unlikely, as 3Dfx died, but it''d still be cool. I assume the DX9 testers here can tell me that too, though...

Is it easy once u know it or is it hard? how many differnt types of things can you do with it? is there something besides C++ i need to use it? or do i just need C++ is it fun? whats it like when your done? dose it run fast? how good of graphics does it support?

Could you ask him if in DX9, DirectDraw supports ALPHABLENDING and other features of D3D?
Another question could be if there is a chance that all samples are reprogrammed so that they ONLY use the current DX Version.

Well someone else might know this but is DirectX writtern in ASM or CPP?
The bulk of the D3D codebase is C++. The amount of assembly is very small, a few very performance critical portions.
There is some 3rd party code, such as the processor-specific graphics pipelines from Intel and AMD. These probably have more assembly.
