Well after learning a valuable lesson of what not to do
on mailing lists today... in the meantime, I can at least
contribute to Euphoria... ;)

EXOTICA - A DirectX Game Programming Library for Euphoria

I have just uploaded the Exotica.zip to RDS... so hopefully
if any of you are interested in my library can download it
here soon. If not today, hopefully tommorrow.
You will need DirectX 6.0 or higher to program with Exotica.

Basically, this is a Beta version of Exotica. I plan to
incorporate many more functions for your use.

What I need first is feedback if the examples work okay for
you. I rather answer "how-to" questions after I've written
API documentation in which the current Exotica.zip doesn't
include yet. Sorry. But if you're adventurous, you can
take a look at the examples included and see how it runs.
Plus, make sure you read the 'Exotica.txt' file which even
that is pretty rough and not complete, doh... at least, I'm
trying... :)

Features:
- 8,16,24,32bit Video Modes
  (ModeX modes are not yet incorporated correctly)
- Bitmap support
- Blit functions
- Palette functions
- Only 24bit Colored support. You can still load in 8Bit Bitmaps.
- Sound functions
- Keyboard, Mouse and joystick support
- Mod Player(mod, s3m, xm) functions
- CD Audio Player functions
- AVI Player functions

I don't think I left anything out...

I definetly plan on adding Direct3D and DirectPlay here in the
future plus a handful of other functions...

Hope ye likes...
