I''m brand new to DX and I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I''m developing a driving game in University. I''ve been designated to develop a menu system for the game. At the moment it''s really inefficient, cos all it does is change a bitmap when you press a button. Any advice anyone can give me on their experience with this sort of development. Cheers everyone Jim
