2D collision detection

OK, i am really struggling with finding - and implementing! - the best method for collision detection in my 2D game.
From the research that I have thus-far done, it would appear that the best idea would be to create some sort of collision map. I h... |

Sprites & Screen movement

I have a sprite loaded on screen and I want the screen to move with the sprite so that, when a map is placed behind the sprite, it can traverse the map, but the screen will always be focused on the sprite.

Can anyone give me a brief explanation of how to rotate a sprite using LPD3DXSPRITE in DirectX9. I am getting very confused by it all and my sprite keeps disappearing rather than rotating!!
Thanks :> |

2D Rendering

OK, you're not giving the most amount of info here, but can give you a few pointers...
Nothing will draw unless it is enclosed between a BeginScene and EndScene pairing and then Present is used, so start off by doing that if you have not already.

VS 2005 Express & DirectX

D3DX9_24.dll

Looks like I have opened a can of worms here!!!
From what I can tell then there is no immediate answer apart from, slightly dubiously, including the dll with my download, or linking to somewhere where you can download it - i have already found a c... |

2D collision detection

OK, i get how that can work with static items e.g. walls, but do you have it implemented for two moving items e.g. two NPCs so that they avoid each other? Because that is what I am working on... |

All i currently have is a mask/map of initial positions, stored in an array. Trying to work out how to move these sprites without locking the te... |

Colour of a pixel within a texture/sprite

hmmmm, wasnt planning on doing that; clearly hadnt thought this out very well!
so is the best thing to create the mask beforehand and then rotate this the same way that the onscreen sprite is being rotated in order to make the comparisons.... |

Cheers, thanks for the help.
DrunkenHyena, somewhat confused by one part of your code:
