btw, Gdiplus::GdiplusStartup requires a matching Gdiplus::GdiplusShutdown function :) just wanted to point that out since i watched the tut vids I am not yet at the intermediate lessons ( lesson 14 now ) but are you saying that lesson 8 intermediate is lacking a GdiplusShutdown function, or is that...

As for DirectX you could get a DirectX 9 book, but in my opinion you'd be better finishing the tutorials and then start learning DirectX 11 cause the way things are done has changed a fair bit. That's if your graphics card supports it of course. What book about DirectX would be recommended? Is this...

Interesting... thank you

I understand that there will be a lesson to load bmp's from a file. I am at lesson 13 now, so I wait patiently until that's explained by Chili.

That's a lot of putpixels! Did you write that all by hand or did you use some kind of tool to generate them?

There is a setting in Microsoft Visual C++ express where you can load DLL-exports.
Go to the TOOLS-menu-->options-->Debug-->Native and there set a checkmark in load DLL-exports.

That solved it for me

it also says this when I debug it: : Loaded 'C:\Windows\System32\oleaut32.dll', Cannot find or open the PDB file and then I look and on line 23( the ones with exclamation marks) it says it always breaks...: Game.cpp, line 23 (no condition) break always can anyone help me? i really love these tutori...

I think I found the solution.
If others have the same problems as I did, do this:

Hello all of you, I am new here and enjoy the tutorial ( as far as I followed it ;) ) I always wanted to learn writing my own games in DirectX and this looks like a great course :) Unfortuatly things do not work as they should... I just installed Chili framework and the program from lesson one works...
