Games Resources and all that jazz...
Having played my X-Box 360 to death over Christmas (yes I finally got one!), and in the process forgetting all my coding skills, it was time to give the brain a bit of post-holiday clean out. What better way than to get the low-down on Direct-X programming?!
The following are a bunch of useful resources on Direct X programming and some of the math behind the games (always useful to know a bit of theory)
Hope you find them as useful as me. Have you got any other resources you think I should know about?! Drop a comment on the blog to let me know!

There's only 1 place for managed directX, even if I do say so myself :-)

(There are other places but they are all linked from The ZBuffer)
