    Why DirectX 7 ??

    I have started a project like yours but I will like to see it DirectX 8 based.

    he probably used DX 7 instead of DX 8 for DirectDraw... which was cut outa 8 for some reason... since he's making a 2D engine then its beneficial to use Ddraw instead D3D... thats the only thing I can think of

    The DirectDraw functions are not 'cutted out' in DirectX 8.

    They got a new home under Direct3D, but to access them have completly changed.

    Erm, using DirectX will never make it cross-platform, nice try though :)

    What do you mean? DirectX is very cross-platform, it will run on Windows 9X, 2000 and XP! :)
