I agree with Kenmo, use the line starting with 'Content-Type:'. The first word will tell you the type of data to expect, after the slash you will get the specifics. This should be on a line by itself in the returning header, according to the RFC.

Sigh. It's NOT reliable.

[write an engine] is often skipped and that's why everybody's beginning from scratch everytime.
Also lots of specific stuff is put into that engine, so that it's still a 2D-tile-engine but it can't be used for other games, because of all that "hard-coded" information.

That's why there are not ...

Well it's hard to help somebody if they don't know what they want to do.
It's not possible to write a tutorial on "2D gaming". That was the point of post.
However if somebody wanted to create a "2,5D" RPG more information could be offered.
I think there also some general (meaning, not aimed ata ...

Rendering? That's what DX/OpenGL is for.
A 2D-Game engine. There are tons of different kind of games in 2D alone. They all have different parameters. That goes so far that you can't use ANY part of one engine for an engine for a game of a different genre.

The basis would probably be a tile engine ...

Youtube went back to flash after testing HTML5 for 2 weeks or so. And that is good.
Videos took forever to load, the volume control had a delay of 2sec or so. The time till the position bar appeared when hovering over it was several seconds, too...
There's a lot of work ahead. Browser's are not ...

It's a totally different problem.
Of course it doesn't hurt to check if the file exists before attemping a download

What is this supposed to do?
It doesn't tell you if it's a binary file or not. It just tells if the file is there.
It's of course not easy to check the whole content of the file. Well, it is easy it's just not fast and you have to download the whole file first, but it's the only reliable method for ...

The extension is not reliable at all.
Any extension can be routed to be interpreted by php or any other language interpreter.
And a php file can output any data.

www.example.com/image.php can very well display an image and thus your stringgadget contains the same binary "rubbish" as with a normal ...

@skywalk: Your code debugs "302 found" for the second file which clearly doesn't exist.

@Machinecode: The simplest way is to check for Chr(0). A textfile won't contain any.
This way you can display .pb etc, too, like Firefox does for example: http://purearea.net/pb/CodeArchiv/Database ...

Thanks for the tips.
It's just a quick example.
In the first version, I had a Button that "debugged" the values, I figured a "live" display would be better.

Hi, everybody.
Creating new Gadgets on the Canvas seems to be quite popular.
So here's my take on it.
I had something like this using quite a lot of Win-Api.
Now here it is without any Api.
It's a bigger, more touchscreen-friendly TrackbarGadget that looks like a progressbar.

Updated exampled with ...

Confirmed. Windows 7 Home Premium 32

The error occurs when you resize the height. There's probably a division by zero (when the top CanvasGadget height is 0)

Otherwise nice looking gadget.

Why not use the normal sound library?
Is there some restriction that you can only use that with a screen?
There are people who wished for several windowed screens, but it's not possible.
Now there is.

Good idea.
That's something I always wanted, too^^

Awesome, Stargate.
