I made this project with a single goal in mind; to create a reusable Managed DirectX class library that can be used as a foundation for basic 2D games. I hope that I have succeeded. As a fellow game hobbiest, I present the GameUtil class library to you, so you too can benefit from its code. You can use it in any way you so desire; start your own 2D game, extend and/or alter the code for your own needs, or just browse the source code for learning purposes. For your convenience and as a mini-tutorial, I've included a demo project that shows how easy it is to get a basic 2D game engine built, using the GameUtil class library. For more information, please read the About.htm file located in the main GameUtil folder.

I have the DirectX 9 SDK instaled on my 
machine. I'm running on XP and I get 
this error...
An unhandled exception 
of type 
'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' 
occurred in DemoApp.exe
Additional 
information: File or assembly name 
Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput, or one 
of its dependencies, was not 
found.
Ideas, hints, suggestions? 
Would appreciate any help. Thanks

I figured it out. Even though I had 
references to all of the DLLs, I had to 
include the 
Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput.dll file 
to the project, then all worked 
fine.

Search for DX9 Tools 2D on P.S.C. MY 
DX9 TOOLS UTILIZES Direct3D, BUT IT 
LETS YOU USE DIRECT3D WITHOUT HAVING TO 
KNOW ANY D3D CODE!!! It also does 
sound, music, and all that stuff. And
