Very entertaining. Good music - you're pretty talented with that synth!

No

OpenGL in Linux is often easier than in Windows. SDL is a shorter way to initialize OpenGL.

Yeah I agree Fred.
He should make some demos and enter them in the demo scene competitions

Please do it if it's easy

Without SDL of course

Because i've tried for DAYS to do that, and still not managed to do it, i've given it up since a few weeks

I whish to know if you have coded DirectX "directly" (as you could do in C++ and in many other languages) or if you have used some built-in comands, such as the Sprite3D lib...

Anyway, don't matter your reply, your demo is still amazing

Except for 'Memory', 'Library' and 'Window' no PB libraries have been used.
(Right, I could have done without them as well, that saved another 1-2kb
compressed

)

So yes, it's all 'direct' Direct3D programming. Doing this in PB is almost the
same as in C (NOTE: not C++).

It's really not that hard at all:
Call "Direct3DCreate8" or "Direct3DCreate9" respectively from d3d8/9.dll,
setup a screen (GetAdapterDisplayMode) and finally call "CreateDevice".
That will return you a pointer to IDirect3DDevice*. Done.
Now you can go on like you would do in C or any other language.

All the interfaces you need have already been declared for you.
Everything else you need to know is inside the DX-SDK

Thanks again for all your nice comments!

Take care of yourself!

Traumatic; my congratulations for this

However you managed it to do such nice stuff with DX only (without Sprite3D i think).... Very impressive work! traumatic the DX guru

Points: 10 / 10 Congratulations!
