I've finally finished the DirectDraw tutorial. This one shows you how to use DirectDraw w/out using the VCL - i.e., the underlying setting-up-and-wrapping-around DDraw. The result is a pretty darned small exe - the example code ended up at 19K with no thoughts about size optimisation at all!

It's a big two-parter and it's over here.

Next, I'll finish off the timing tutorial, then completely rewrite the tiles one.
