Hi, I am trying to get a cat walking back and forth between the screen using a left and right tileset of bitmaps. Also, I am supposed to be able to control two caveman sprites that appear to walk left and right as you press the left and right keys.

I am having trouble with the movement of the caveman.

SPRITE catLeft;
SPRITE cavemanRight;
SPRITE cavemanLeft;

LPDIRECT3DSURFACE9 back;
LPD3DXSPRITE sprite_handler;
