Did you start with GScript?

Attached is a application I began programming with C++ a couple weeks ago.

At the moment the program has the following features:

• [Custom]Has its own file format for resources (.ocr: levels, meshes, worlds)
• [DirectX]Draws graphics (text, mesh files, images)
• [WinSock]Connects to a server (only connects)
• [DirectX]Reads input from devices (mouse, keyboard)

I don't think using C++ and DirectX itself is a good idea unless you're creating a high-level 3D gaming engine. You're probably better off using SDL in place of DirectX (SDL uses DirectX to render or can be set to work alongside OpenGL).

I would use C# and SDL.NET if I wanted to make a game.
