Re: Graphics (simple)

["jeff roth" <jefjay@hotmail.com>]

When I started getting serious about game programming about a year ago I 
know nothing about graphics programming. I looked on amazon.com and found a 
book that taught graphics for games and a few other thing that had high 
reviews and got it.
Before that I tried a few online tutorials and they didn't help much. Once I 
got the book, I worked on my game with extremely simple graphics until I had 
a playable version, then moved to directX drawing pixels and then to DirectX 
drawing images and eventually threw in some animations.
The book I used was Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus by Andre 
Lamothe.
This is what worked for me, it's been a year since I started but I now feel 
that the only thing holding me back is time, not skills or knowledge.
