language? what language are you using? either way, if you have to specify a device , a device is something directdraw depends on if you're not sure, go to http://www.kuhnstall.de/tutorials/dx9sharp1.html and go to: directDraw theory, it explains everything clearly

uh uh...what is Visio?

directX http://www.kuhnstall.de/tutorials/dx9sharp1.html i found a good tutorial on that website i tried converting it to VB using the same functions but, the converter wont work properly it gives a ton of errors but anyone who's interested in doing some DIrectX with C# check out the URL above, its got a NICE tutorial, i understand the concept of DirectX now, but i cant understand some of the syntax on the site, that tutorial basically gives how to initialize directDraw, but i cant do the same in VB, i know a LOT of VB, and im making a Mario- type game, but the graphics flicker and so i want to get directX to make it run smooth. bitBlt is too slow. I may be stubborn but i want to learn directX 9 for VB.NET, notice how i have numerous posts about directX, and initiallizing my point is: in the URL specified, can someone convert that to VB and post it, with additional comments please(i hope in not asking too much)?

i saw a nice tutorial on DirectDraw in C#. it explained everything to me thoroughly, but the way you initialize directDraw in VB.NET is different from the way u initialize it in C# for instance instead of this.GraphicsClipper you would say Me.GraphicsClipper http://www.kuhnstall.de/tutorials/dx9sharp1.html i just need help trying to do the same in VB.NET

i have 12 graphics for characters character left 1 , characterleft2, character left 3 and so on when i say (when the user preses left) character.image = characterleft1.image character.image = characterleft2.image character.image = characterleft3.image it goes very choppily and you cant even see characterleft2 and 3
