hello,
can anybody say me how i can access the pixels of a window(maybe fullscreen) and write the colors from a array in it?

what should i use for this directdraw/3d, opengl, or just windowsfunctions?
it should be fast, easy and look smooth(i dont want to see how the screen is filled)

hope you understand my question
thanks for all replies

you could use windows functions to draw on the window canvas directly but if you want something really fast (and to not see how the screen is filled) you should use directdraw. first create a primary surface to which you attach a backbuffer. you blit your drawing on the backbuffer and then flip the buffers and voila! the drawing is shown on the screen in a split second.

thanks for the help

i will try it, do you know any good tutorials about it?

I'm having trouble getting into a file format that is very rare, and I hope the compression is not an oddball format.
