Yes, it should work even on older gfx cards, because it does not use any pixelshader for doing the fx...

It only played the music for me, using Win XP SP3.

It also didn't show any windows (screen was blacked) and it didn't provide any options to exit. I had to reboot my computer to get it to stop...when it started over.

Well but on my VIA S3 Unichrome IGP 32 MB it took about 1 Minute to build the image and on my GeForce 8600 GT it took about 5-10 seconds. Maybe you should make it timedependent and not framebased.

@Demivec:
Strange! Have you tried it again after rebooting your PC? Do you have installed lastest gfxcard-drivers / DirectX? You can exit the program by pressing ESC...

@DarkDragon:
Ohhhhh O.O I am very sorry about this... this point is exactly one thing i dont really know how to code on PC... i still use things like:

Code: Select all

  x = x + 1 
for moving things... like on the good old amiga where it was same speed on all machines... but on PC i am not really sure how to get it timberbased work... and i dont want nor like limited the fps... i have tried/coded a timerbased (fps independent example years ago for PC) but cant find it anymore here...

else i would ofcourse using the timberbased way instead the dirty way like x=x+1 (as some ppl here are coding things and i.e. limiting the fps i really hate, esp when having a gfxcard for 400 euros with real power as example)

So ?

I look to a lot of things but I'don't feel the urge to post something about them every time.


BTW: Trying to download it my nod32 IMON component stop the download complaining about a threat: "Win32/Statik application" (don't know what it's talking about).

Probably a false alarm from the heuristic HTTP filter, but maybe you like to know it.

Your Screens look nice,
and I know your programming skills.
So I downloaded the file.

But because I'm running Linux, and you only provide an .exe file,
I had to use wine --> only sound, no screen (not even opened)

So I moved the file to the desktop of my parallel installed Windows XP.
But it may lie there 1 week or even 4 until I start Windows again.

Running on a freshly booted computer I get the same results. I ran the program, click OK on the program's introductory dialog. It pauses for a few seconds then the screen goes blank and it plays audio. I tried exiting the program by pressing ESC but it was of no effect, nor was anything else I tried. Although the screen was black it did display the mouse pointer as I moved it around. I rebooted again to stop the program.
