Using DX 7 and 8

Hi there. Im new, just joined now. Im currently using the demo version of PB and I hope to purchase the full version very soon (that is if my dad lets me use his credit card).

I hope to use PB to make 2d games and apps, but Ive been doing a lot of research lately into DirectX access via PB. I want to use the power of DX8's 3d sprites, and combine them with the speed of DX7's DDraw. Does anyone know of any good resources/tutorials to help me achieve this? I have only found C++ tutorials and, with me not knowing any C++, I find them hard to follow. I have about 3 1/2 years of BASIC coding experience. Numerous searches for DX in this forum have uncovered little that is helpful. I was hoping that someone with experience could help me, or point me in the right direction.

Cheers

Uhm you can use PBs Sprite3D and Sprite functions, which are compatible with Windows and Linux(on Windows the functions are from DirectX and on Linux they are SDL I think). There are a few examples in the examplesdirectory of PureBasic.
