When I wrote my first DirectX program, I didn’t want to leave out the advantages of
MFC. So I was looking for a demo project which used both – DirectX and MFC. Finally I have
found one and I have modified it. This project is suitable for games, but not only for

The project contains 3 classes:

  • CGame (generic class – for the game – main code – DirectDraw, DirectInput, DirectSound)
