Hi,
Actually, I use C# and WinForms to develop my littles applications.
Now, I want develop a game like Tetris or Pacman, and I am asking who is the
best API for me...
Some of you have Game experience, so you can tell me...

What is the best (the most easy and the most powerful)
managed Direct3D 9 (using Sprites) or managed DirectDraw 7

Another question, Can I develop a nice Game using GDI+ and
WinForms...?

Thank you for all your suggestions

N.B. 1: Sorry for my english, I try :)
N.B. 2: don t be provocate by the term "best" please (I remember subjects
like Direct3D vs OpenGL, who is the best?, GRRrrr :))

Where or what is Managed DirectDraw 7? I thought only DX9 was
available with a managed wrapper. Anyway, that would be my first
choice for a game with lots of moving graphics.

Yes, but only if there aren't too many moving graphics... and even
then you may have to use locked bitmaps a lot, to speed up things.
