DigitalClock Animation

[Keya]

By the way did you try my version of Snakes of balls demo on WinXP and Win 7 ?

i just get the same "Can't open screen !" errmsg

I can't reproduce this problem under WinXP, I get an error about creating sprites instead.

I don't have any computer with Win7 so you will have to figure out the problem your self. Perhaps a bug in PureBasic V5.50.

If you try this code :

Code: Select all

If InitKeyboard() = 0 Or InitSprite() = 0 Or InitMouse() = 0 ; Or InitSprite3D() = 0
  MessageRequester("ERROR","Can't initialize DirectX !")
  End 
EndIf 

ExamineDesktops()
Screen_W = DesktopWidth(0)
Screen_H = DesktopHeight(0)

If OpenScreen(Screen_W, Screen_H, 32, "Sprite Demo") = 0 
  MessageRequester("ERROR", "Can't open 32 bit screen !")
  If OpenScreen(Screen_W, Screen_H, 24, "Sprite Demo") = 0 
    MessageRequester("ERROR", "Can't open 24 bit screen !")
    If OpenScreen(Screen_W, Screen_H, 16, "Sprite Demo") = 0 
      MessageRequester("ERROR", "Can't open 16 bit screen !")
      End
    EndIf
  EndIf
EndIf 

Repeat 
  
  If IsScreenActive() 
    
    ClearScreen(0)
 
  Else 
    
    Delay(10) 
    
  EndIf 
  
  FlipBuffers() 
  ExamineMouse()
  ExamineKeyboard() 
  
Until KeyboardPushed(#PB_Key_All) ; MouseDeltaX() Or MouseDeltaY() Or MouseWheel() Or 

CloseScreen()

End 

What do get as error message ?

Very strange to me, look like a bug somewhere within PureBasic it's self.

Just for curiosity :

Code: Select all

  InitSprite()

  If ExamineScreenModes()
    While NextScreenMode()
      Debug Str(ScreenModeWidth())+"x"+Str(ScreenModeHeight())+"x"+Str(ScreenModeDepth())+"@"+Str(ScreenModeRefreshRate())+"Hz"
    Wend
  EndIf

im using 5.42LTS, but i just also tested with 5.31 and same problem
I also redid all the tests in both inside VM and on my non-VM host machine, same problem
I dont play any games so perhaps i dont have directx or opengl or whatever installed - if that's needed?

This doesn't make any sense ! You should be able to open a screen properly with one of these settings. You should report this as a bug under Windows. But first make sure you have the latest graphic card driver installed, perhaps the problem came from there.

Edit : I have discovered an issue in the FullScreen Module, it's now corrected, see the First post for the download link.

Can you run this code and post back the Debugger output ?

Hello everyone,

I have updated the source to solve the problem pointed out by Kwai chang caine (thanks by the way), see DigitalClock::CreateScreen() instruction for details.
See the first post for the download link.

Hello everyone,

I have take a little break from my game project and re-visited an old code. So this is the version 6 of the DigitalClock FullScreen animation. Nothing is different from the previous version. The main difference is the OOP programming style just to see if the code get any slower in comparison with the Modular approach. I don't see any difference at all. You can download the new source code here :
