[casual_games] DirectDraw or Direct3D

[Cristián Ramírez]

Hi there!

So far, I have seen that the preferred tool for developing games is Flash. So, what do you thing of making casual games using C++ and DirectX? And if DirectX and C++ are good choices too, what is better? To use the old DirectDraw API or just forget that there are still people who don't own a 3D card, and use Direct3D instead (I'm thinking of developing 2D games only, anyway)?

Thanks in advance!

PD: I'm glad to hear that there are people outside the US making games too. I live in Chile! ;)
