[edit] What is DirectX?
If you are unfamiliar with DirectX or DirectInput, please consult the preceding links.
[edit] What do I need
To make a program with DirectX you need the following things:
- A compiler/IDE
- The DirectX SDK (I'm using DirectX9.0 for this tutorial.)
If you have difficulty setting up your compiler with DirectX, consult the SDK, or search the web for help.
[edit] Making a simple DirectInput application
Before we make our class, I will show you how DirectInput works. I will do this by showing you a sample application which uses DirectInput to handle keypresses.
First, make a normal windows application with your IDE. Add the following code to the project:
#define INITGUID #include <dinput.h>
... to be continued ...
