    It would be more practical if you started learning version 9.  There are 2D sprite functions that you can use in version 9, that are alot easier then DirectDraw.  There are simple examples that teach you the basics of DX9 in the samples/c++/Direct3D/tutorials folder.

    I think what your asking is about game theory, you can try http://www.gamedev.net/reference/list.asp categoryid=45#200 good examples there that might help.
