Problems initialising DirectX - Window won't load
Author
I initialised it yesterday in a single source file, but thought I'd try and create a "Game" class which handles everything. Everything compiles perfectly, but when the game loads it doesn't actually create a window. The game then crashes when I call the D3D->Clear() function. I can give code if needed. Cheers

Please do, we're not psychic... yet [grin]

I'm kinda new at this.
It crashes because you forgot to zero out the WNDCLASSEX structure when you initialize your window. The resulting HWND is invalid, and therefore your presentation parameters and your Direct3D device are invalid as well.
Another thing that I noticed is that your game loop is endless, resulting in the process never getting killed. Here's how to fix that:
You might also want to consider using consts instead of #defines. Also, declare your Game object inside of WinMain() instead of making it a global variable. You can then call InitD3D() from your Game() constructor, as opposed to calling it from your window procedure.

Ok, it works. Thanks. Also, how should I go about making a Sprite class? I'm making a sprite version of asteroids, with sprites for the ship, asteroids, powerups, bullets, UFO etc so I figure I may as well do it properly!
