Video Card Test with Sprite3D

Post by Paul »

This is a little test to see how many people use video cards which will display Sprite3D properly.

http://www.reelmediaproductions.com/test/RingTest.zip

Could you people try this little test program and tell me if you see either a "Ring of Fire" or a "Blank Screen"

Thanks.


ps. If you get a blank screen, can you specify the video card you are using?

My example uses these 4 commands...

OpenScreen(640,480,16,"")
Sprite3DBlendingMode()
RotateSprite3D()
DisplaySprite3D()

If it doesn't work then I can only assume there is a support problem with either the video card or the video drivers.

It works fine here on 4 different computers. 2 have NVidia cards, 1 has a VooDoo and 1 has a crappy Rage128. (and all of them regularly run in 32bit color mode)
