 Mike D you may be right in saying that DOS is dead but
learning to program games in DOS first before learning to
program in Windows DirectX is much better! DirectX does alot
for you which many take for granted. You will understand the
concepts if you start at a lower level. Therefore you are
wrong. You should (if possible) start by learning DOS game
programming, then learn Windows programming. Just don't
spend all of your time working on a DOS game, put your
effort into a Windows DirectX game.
