Hi..
I'm actaully an euphoira newbie. But, lately I've been working
hard on porting my 'C' DirectX game library to Euphoria.
Mabie I can help you on your DirectX journey.
I feel kind of akward by annoucing my DirectX plans on
this list right now since my dll isn't finished yet. But I
just couldn't resist it.
To the interested that wants to know what I have done that works
with Euphoria so far:
[Note: This 'dll' will need DirectX 6.1 to run]
*DirectDraw
supports 8,16,24,32bit depths
24bit color
BMP format support.
[Working on PCX support]
Set_Pixel
Palette manipulation
GDI Text routines
*DirectInput
Keyboard, Mouse and Joystick routines
*DirectSound
Sound functions
[working on 3d sounds, right now]
*Mikmod 2.20 Player (mod, s3m, xm)
[note: Mikmod 3.01 and prevous versions are now 100% FreeWare!]
*AVI Player
Todo:
* Graphic Primitives [ie: lines, polygons, splines, etc...]
* MIDI music (DirectMusic?)
* CD-Audio
* Alpha-Blending
* FLC Video Player
* RotoZoomer[I personally need this, I just having problems
trying to figure out how to implement a fast method]
* Datafile Routines[ @ %70 done]
* DirectPlay
* And hopefully Direct3D
* anything else needed?
I can send out what I have so far as beta if ya'll wants, but
I need to make clean demo examples, write documentation[Arg!] and
possibly need to rename some functions so 'Bind' wont
automatically change the function names when you want to make
your code an executable.
