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. >From: Lewis Townsend <Keroltarr at hotmail.com> >Subject: Exotica(X) or other DX lib > >Howdy folks, > >I'm Lewis Townsend.

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. Bernie

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? later, LewyT

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) Bernie

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... Lewis Townsend wrote: > > > Howdy folks, > > I'm Lewis Townsend.
