hello, I was wondering if anybody knows any well done 2d animation tutorials for DirectX out there. I've been using most of the tutorials from DirectXTutorial.com but, he doesn't go in depth about 2D animation and only gives a basic example. Any help would be appreciated Thanks

Hi.
2D animations in DirectX is used with sprites and usually with orthogonal projections. To have sprites animated in your game first of all you need to have some kind of drawed/pre-rendered graphic.
You can download from here a lot of sprites for learning purposes.
Google net for ID3DXSprite tutorials. This should give you basic guidelines on how to make games using sprites.
