      Yeah, but you asked for it the Lounge. X| BW "I'm coming with you! I got you fired, it's the least I can do. Well, the least I could do is absolutely nothing, but I'll go you one better and come along!" - Homer J. Simpson

        Be polite, please. You're in the Lounge here, nice people talking together, and generally not about programming.

              Alternately you could try

              int main (int argc, char *argv[])
              {
              //DirectX initialization here
              //DirectX graphics
              //DirectX termination here
              return 0;
              }

              I find this sometimes helps more...:) ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

                but, it's not a programming question, the poor dude asked for books and/or other references ... If we're that restrictive, this other post[^] should have received the same treatment ! Max.

                  Well, it is such an open ended question. How do you even answer questions like that. Sort of like "I want to learn how to program, where do I start?"... um, with a book? Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

                    You're getting grief for 2 reasons 1- You're asking a programming question in a forum which clearly states at the top, NO Programming questions. 2- Your question can be answered with a few minutes of Googling. You say ASAP, but make no mention of having tried to get the info yourself. BW "I'm coming with you! I got you fired, it's the least I can do.

                        "I want to learn how to program, where do I start?" Yeah, you're absolutely right. I couldn't even begin to imagine how to teach somebody how to program on a forum. I just thought it was funny that you gave him code on how to write a program that takes command line arguments (unless this is different in Windows, I only know what this means under Unix).

                            That wasn't really a programming question, people are getting too picky around here. A programming question would be somthing along the lines of: "How do I initialize DirectX" Why waste time learning when ignorance in instantaneous -Hobbes

                                Try http://www.gamedev.net for DirectX-related forums. You might get better responses there.

                                  Welcome to CP. Some tips. 1. You should post programming questions in the programming forums. It says as much above the lounge, with a link. 2. If you don't know what the example posted means, you need to forget about direct x. It was the framework for every C/C++ program, and unless you know a lot more than that about C++, you're not going to get anywhere with DirectX, which is basically COM objects accessed through C++. 3. If you feel you've been treated rudely here, please don't let it stop you from posting more and asking questions in the right forums, the fact is that we do get kind of sick of people not reading the big warnings not to post programming questions here, but for all that, we are a friendly mob, and keen to be helpful too. Just try posting in the right place, and I'm sure you'll see that we have a good side that outweighs the bad..... :-) Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle.

                                          For what it's worth I agree 100% with you here - what the hell is getting these guys all riled up? You asked for a book recomendation nothing more. Sadly I can't recommend one to you, but still, it's a shame what has happened here. :confused:
