• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Sprite Problem

  I'm trying to do some simple 2D graphics with DirectX 9.0 (April version), so the first step is to display bitmaps. I found a tutorial that applies a texture to a rectangular triangle fan (quad), and that works perfectly. However, when I try to display a bitmap with the ID3DXSprite object, it looks a little blurry, as if the bitmap is offset from the screen coordinates by some fraction. When using the texture-quad method, apparently you must ...Show All
