I've been messing around with direct x 9 and c++. I have the SDK for dark GDK and the latest one. I compile with vc++. I want to be able to bring my games to school, maybe even multiplayer if I ever understand winsock XD. I'm pretty sure the computers at my school use direct x 9.0. Is there anyway I could make games with direct x 9 and c++ that would work on the computers at my school? I heard vc++ needs a runtime (which means I can't play games made with that at school), is that true? I downloaded Dev C++, but I tried to compile and it didn't work. Is there something I need to do to get it to work? Is there some other compiler that could work? Does having two sdks mess anything up somehow? Do you have to do something for it to run with direct x 9.0 and 9.0c? I'm just pretty confused (if you can't already tell). Thanks in advance

Make sure that they have the required DX updates (you probably have no control over this), and compile your code so that it doesn't use DLLs for the C++ runtime libraries.
