DirectX 9 Questions

Expand Post »

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

Re: DirectX 9 Questions

The first part is correct.
The second part well shouldn't really be a problem

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

D3DXCreateTextureFromFile()

Allows the use of png files...

Perhaps i mis-understood your question?
