About DirectX9 and C#
-
Hi, I am developing C# programs nowadays, I want to enter game programming with DirectX9 and C#. Can somebody give a good starting point (book, web source or some other source)? Thank you all. Cem Louis
I'm currently reading the Managed DirectX 9 Kick Start[^] and it's pretty good. Next on my plate - thanks to a happy patron - is Introduction to 3D Game Engine Design Using DirectX 9 and C#[^]. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that managed DirectX applications are on average roughly 20% slower than native implementations. Food for thought.

I'll second the suggestion of Introduction to 3D Game Engine Design...full of information. And, with some smart optimizations, you can whittle away that 20% slowdown...not to equal native, mind you, but it is "optimizable"
