Chris took ExoticaX offline when he sort of left. Todd Riggins (Exotica)
just disappeared as far as we know. The newest version is 1.7, IIRC. There
are a few people on this list who could give it to you.

3. RE: Exotica(X) or other DX lib
Thanks CoJaBo and Elliott S. de Andrade,
That would be wonderful if someone could provide me with the newest
version 1.7. However, if both Todd and Chris are no longer supporting
their libraries, maybe I should look into one of the other DX libs. Does
anyone have a recomendation?
later,
LewyT

Welcome back Lewis:
First you will find that the latest version of Euphoria
has changed some things since you left so if you get errs
runing older code; it may be caused by the version you are running.
Search the archive for Directx and you will find code by Matt and Mic.

5. RE: Exotica(X) or other DX lib
Howdy Bernie,
Glad to see you're still around.
I have attempted to evaluate Mic's DirectE library. But all the demos
throw errors concerning c-functions. Aparently the "GetTickCount"
function found in kernel32 doesnt accept parameter of type: C_ULONG.
Any idea what it DOES accept?

LewyT
6. RE: Exotica(X) or other DX lib
Lewis:
The GetTickCount function retrieves the number of milliseconds that have
elapsed since the system was started. It is limited to the resolution of
the system timer. It takes no arguments.
DWORD GetTickCount(VOID)

Hello,
Thanks everybody who has replied on this thread.
I now have DirectE working and can begin evaluating it.

Hello and how is everybody?! Yup I just couldn't stay away from
Euphoria... it's just to dang sexy! :) I haven't been active here for
quite a while and now just got back to Euphoria town and bought me a
shiny new Euphoria 2.4 registration! :))))
I just caught this message, posted back in janurary 03, 2004 and just
had to reply to it! Yes, The Exotica Game Programming Language in my
book has been laid to rest. I mean, I no longer support it and develope
it even though still feel free to pass it around if people would like to
have a go at it( actaully, I'm suprised that the link to it is still
there!!). But! I do owe it to Euphoria and it's fine community a big
thanks for getting me to have this big serious interest in game library
writting. Thankyou!
I may have faded away from the Euphoria scene for a while, but along the
way in my ventures I have learned many things in game developement
mainly in the general 3D area. Anyways, I keep deleting a longer message
here that I'm so anxious to share, but I'll keep it short and sweet. A
new game library is in the works! It's based on the latest DirectX
technology (DirectX 9b at this time ) and freeware/shareware based.
Until next time...
