I Trying to play around with Directx9 for a game possibly.
the problem is after getting the includes (codemongers) i can't seam to find any documentation on how to use them you how to even get them to compile?
a tutorial would be nice

the reason is that at the rate that orge is being implamented into purebasic it will take for ever to get my game started...

unless theres a easier way all together

Its not easy, you cant just grab the includes then dive right in. DX is a VERY complex beast, before I started to use it with PB it took me around 2-4 weeks of research on how it worked.

Your best bet would be to look at the following sites for a few tutorials:

Also, the GameDev.net DirectX forum FAQ is useful along with the actual forum itself:

Hope that helps
