DirectX 9 Questions
Please support our C++ advertiser: Intel Parallel Studio Home
 |
Hello,
I have recently started learning how to write games in DirectX 9 and I have a few questions. The first is about backwards compatibility. Is it correct to assume that if someone has DirectX 10 installed that they can play DirectX 9 stuff without downloading DirectX 9?
Also, I was wondering if anyone could tell me about loading PNG files with DirectX 9, as opposed to bitmaps.
Thanks,
Mike

The first part is correct.
The second part well shouldn't really be a problem
Allows the use of png files...
Perhaps i mis-understood your question?
