Good luck with
learning DirectX!

Well what can I say a very good
tutorial well commented and easy to
understand which is very rare in vb
programmers.

I can't beleive it...U did it again! 5
Globes for the code. Excellent
discription. Altogether Great! I was
actually about to e-mail you...(Seeing
as you are great with Direct-X) Asking
if it would be possible to create a
simple Direct 3D thing. U know,
something really easy! I did try a MSDN
tutorial, but it never said exactly
what to do, so I couldn't get anything
to work :( Anyway, let me know :o)
|
9/23/2000 5:29:33 PM:Simon Price
Thanx guys, yes there might be a D3D
tutorial, but I think it should come
after tutorials on DirectDraw exclusive
mode and maybe DirectSound and
DirectMusic too.

Make that 3 accounts Simon, you're
forgetting SE Software :)
Seriously
though, this is the first submission of
yours which I think deserves
credit/votes. 4 globes.

9/24/2000 5:07:06 AM:Simon Price
Thanks Nathan, but I still can't
believe you're still going on about
SEsoftware...

Thanks Simon, most tutorials tend to
skip over the details, but this (and
hopefully future installments ;)) is
well commented and will certainly aid
me in my quest for a complete
understanding of Dx.

Great tutorial, Simon. Can't wait for
the next one!

I want to try this code, but I don't
have the DirectX 7 Tpye libraries.
Where can I get them?
|
10/7/2000 10:49:28 AM:Simon Price
To SqueakMac, and anyone else
interested:
I downloaded the
DirectX7 for Visual Basic type
libraries from www.microsoft.com , I
can't remember
the exact url but go
there and look for DirectX7 and then
developers and I'm
sure you'll find
the link.
|
10/8/2000 12:18:29 PM:Mr. Bob
To anyone who is looking for the DX7
Type Libraries: You don't have to
download the SDK (Althhough should be a
joy to have). All you need to do is
install DX7. Then, the Libs will be in
the References area. Great Job, Simon!
You just saved my first game!

Hmm.. pretty cool. I don't get what the
object of this tutorial is supposed to
accomplish though.. you draw that
text.bmp onto the screen. but can't you
just use a picturebox and put text.bmp
as the Picture? I don't get it :-|
|
10/8/2000 6:41:37 PM:Doug
Oops. I meant test.bmp not text

Simon Rulz, Would 3DStudio Max be a
good tool to use for my 2d characters
in DX? Im designing a Survivor Horror
Game. What type of Engine would you
recommend? Anyone else feel free to
e-mail be concerning this project

I downloaded the SDK but I found it's
only a useful reference once you know
how it works. As a tutorial it is
infuriatingly complicated. I haven't
tried this tutorial of yours, Simon,
because I already know how to use it
thanks to some help from Jack Hoxley
(also from the UK... you seem to be...
and so am I). He wrote a guide and
after a few e-mails I had it figured.
It's great to see another one and by
the looks of things you've done a good
job. I've looked into Direct3D through
the SDK... I have a very vague idea but
I think a tutorial on that would really
help. Just now I wanted to make a
virtual piano program (that's why I
came here just now). I looked into
DirectMusic... and looked away. I think
there must be an easier way. Ummm... I
think I wrote too much. *grins*

A cute little demo, but not very
inspiring. (Who would use DDraw to blt
still pictures to windows?!?!?!?)
|
10/27/2000 1:32:37 PM:Wazerface
I knew Simon made this just by the
title, GREAT JOB!!! and JonnySoft,
don't even think of calling simon's
code "cute and little"

Great start for people learning DirectX
|
6/3/2002 11:18:19 AM:Gah3k
Good job. I am a newbie to DirectX, and
this helped me out a lot.
|
8/8/2002 4:26:54 PM:Anphanax
for us newbies with directx, this demo
is great. Because it shows how to paint
a still picture without all that extra
garbage to confuse the hell out of
people. Once people know how to create
still images with directdraw, they can
of course make moving ones. :\ This is
the best example I have ever found. 5
Globes.

nice tutorial, easy to understand, very
helpful for students like me.
