Introduction

This is a small library for animating sprites using GDI+. It also contains a game engine that manages hooking the keyboard and updating the sprites in the game for you. It is limited, and not the best approach for a full fledged game in most cases, but for a small game, GDI+ is not a bad option, and hopefully this will make the game creation a bit easier.

You may modify and re-use this as you wish, and you can use it in any game you want to sell, but please don't sell it as a product in itself... Besides it being unethical, it's probably not an engine that is going to sell for much ;).

This is meant only to show the use of GDI+ and get you started in game programming. I haven't been programming for Windows long, and I like to learn by doing... and I also like to share so that other people can learn. If you have any questions, please let me know. I hope you enjoy the code and maybe even learn something... just keep in mind that I am also learning, and would appreciate any feedback you have on how this could be done better... but still using GDI+ as that was the point of doing it this way. I am now starting to create a better engine using DirectX, and would like any feedback on how you think I could better implement a game engine using it.

Thank you for any votes or feedback! ;) Enjoy!
