You get Visual Studio from all good computer software stockists.

The main advantage is speed, and you can now use almost anything that C allows

1)Visual Studio is needed for the C++ compiler and some headers/libraries.

2)DarkSDK is a library written in C++, that mainly is a wrapper for the DirectX library.

3)DirectX is a c++ library, that uses the Win API library, so its also a "wrapper" actually.

4)Win API provides some interface to do what ever stuff u like with Windows or your PC..

haha just kidding. part 3 and 4 I don't know for sure.. I think DirectX somehow also uses direct access to hardware, without Win API.. thats why it is so fast and so good I guess.. but as I said, for part 3 and 4 I am not so sure

Not sure if you are not just having us on , but here goes...

It is harder to do stuff using Visual Studio and DirectX directly (because DX requires a lot of low level calls to work).

It is easier to do stuff using Visual Studio and DGSDK (you still require DirectX installed, as DGSDK is a "gateway" to DirectX).
