Hey, i've been learning some c++ over the summer, and now i'm getting into directX so that some day i may be able to make Contra style scrolling 2D shooters Just wondering, I'm learning DirectX with some old information, is there any funtion to load bitmaps into memory in the new versions of DX, or do I still have to write/"borrow" some seperate code to do this?

Im sure it does , just install the MSDN and do a search.

get the bmp one and try and code a bmp loader.

tis very simple and good practice.

write out some pseudo code first and think about it.
