According to me, Advanced Framework is fine bcoz 3D objects aren't included in the Intermediate Section.
BTW, what other stuff & other threads???

Is this how 3D is done in directX9? Ive heard that dx8 and dx11 are completely different. Is it still useful to learn dx9 because Ive been doing dx11 for a while now.

Yes. But nobody uses DirectX 8 now. Mostly all beginner game developers use directx 9 to program their games, bcoz most of the old computers(Windows XP or Vista) still use DirectX9 compatible graphic cards. They do not support DX10 or 11. So, making the long story short, Yes, DirectX9 is still useful. But there is no problem learning DX11. Its just kind of like Future Planning...

I think he might be talking about adding sprite rotation.

I don't think sprite rotation is a big deal....plus he showed how to implement it in the other thread.
BTW, I would like Intermediate Framework instead of Intermediate Framework!

haha, i don't get what the difference would be (except just diff colors )

Red makes it advanced. Don't you know anything Luis??
