Locking a surface with a locklevel
Fri, 09 May 2008 19:55:42 -0500
The book I've been using to get the basics on DirectX glosses over the

Hi!
I'm interested in programming, more specifically game programming.
Thus DirectX would soon become a topic of interest.
However, I wonder if you could point me towards some helpful web sites
or books with lots of "easy-to-understand" tutorials covering basic
DirectX use. I don't want any advanced topics ...

shader that changes the positions of the particles. I then want a
third stage where I stream from a vertex buffer to buffer2 through the
same shader, a seed particle that w ...
