I''m a little new to the OpenGL game, and I have never used DirectX before. I''ve waded through some of the msdn help file and have pretty much found myself lost touching anything DirectX. I assume at least the DirectInput8Create() function should replace the DirectInputCreateEx() function. But I''m not quite sure how. Maybe even someone could rewrite the tutorial. Thanks.

Check out Trent''s Game programming tutorials (see nehe main page). The input tutorial there uses DX8.
