2d DirectX?

Can someone point me to a simple 2D game engine that is run by DirectX. A simple one would be good. I dont need or know how to use all of the advanced programing.

what i really want is to make a game like "robowar" or "darwinbots"..

Oh. On the side... is it posible to graphics rendered by VB's managed backbuffer/render code that are about as fast DirectX if all i want is a 2D view

Thanks

    One example of a complete engine is Flatredball, and is always getting updated. I have also been working on some tutorials and articles on 2D in Managed DirectX. At the moment I have a set of posts on my blog that are a bit old but will help to get you started. I am currently updating the code and reworking it, (Will post them shortly).

    "Could not find required media. Ensure that the DirectX SDK is correctly installed" is what I get when running the "Simple 2D" sample. Other samplse works fine

    Look at the "Simple 2D" sample in the DirectX SDK
