general help
okay so i have some questions about graphics programming. i have gone through a C++ class so i understand the console programming but i dont want to move on to API becuase thats just how i am. i like the harder stuff when it comes to learning how to do something. so i guess what do i need to learn before i dive into the whole graphics process?

Re: general help
Download the directX SDK from MS. Be careful to read the information and also study the example files.

okay so now that i have worked on this stuff for a few days i decided to make a cool little bedroom deal. well i dont want it to rotate automatically forever. i want it so that if you press the left arrow key it moves left and if you press the right arrow key it moves right but how do i do that?

Re: general help
I'm absolutely not a DirectX guy but I've a looked at the interface. I do remember that you can register to get keyboard pressure. Have you looked into that?

Re: general help
yeah i have i look to try and capture keyboard input but i cant seem to find a way that works. i try the whole switch statement for messages. ex.
switch (msg)
{
case WM_CHAR:
{
switch(wParam)
{
case VK_LEFT://Left arrow key
{
code here
}
}
}
}
however many i need but it wont run it through the statements at all. and the directx doesnt affect how you input keyboard input atleast i dont think. but how would you do it in WinAPI?
