I''m assuming when u say ''link several images'' u mean to display the cannon with multiple frames.

All u need to do is create a struct like so...
(one way of doing it)

  typedef CANNON{    RECT  rcFrames[MAX_FRAMES];    WORD  nCurrentFrame;    POINT ptScreenPos;} Then make an instance of the struct: CANNON Cannon;Fill its initial variables:SetRect(&Cannon.rcFrames[0], 0,0,32,32);SetRect(&Cannon.rcFrames[1], 32,0,64,32);SetRect(&Cannon.rcFrames[2], 64,0,96,32);etc...Cannon.ptScreenPos.x = 100;Cannon.ptScreenPos.y = 100;Cannon.nCurrentFrame = 0;Update the current frame variable every frame or so:Cannon.nCurrentFrame++;if(Cannon.nCurrentFrame >= MAX_FRAMES) Cannon.nCurrentFrame = 0;Then blit it by parsing the rect to ->Blt()lpDDSCannon->Blt(.., &Cannon.rcFrames[Cannon.nCurrentFrame], ..)Hope this helps :)

Hey,

Don''t post in more than one forum just to "get more attention." People will read your post if you just post it in ONE forum.

Keep your posts to one forum please.
