im making a game and although i could make it for DOS, id prefer windows. everywhere i look though wont give information that i need. i need a way to create a non-resizable window that i can draw single pixels too. nothing less and nothing more is needed. if you know where i can find one or you could possible make on (and you would then get some cash of course) please contact me.

Making the window non-resizable shouldnt be a diffult task. Just process the WM_SIZING message in your windowproc and set the (LPRECT)lParam values to what it originally was. There are probably other, smarter ways to do it though. When it comes to doing graphics, there are two easy ways to do it;

1) Using GDI, DIBs or even SetPixel (_slow_)
2) DirectDraw windowed mode (fast, not as fast as fullscreen though and not that complicated either)
