Open Watcom DirectX Sample Code
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These folders contain DirectX sample code.
|
||
|
|
The examples require DirectX 9.0 SDK or newer to compile.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The latest DirectX SDK can be downloaded from
|
||
|
|
http://www.microsoft.com/directx
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At the time of this writing DirectX9.0b is the latest version.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should add the path to where you installed the SDK
|
||
|
|
to the front of the LIB and INCLUDE environment variables,
|
||
|
|
before the Open Watcom paths, eg.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
set LIB=c:\dxsdk9\lib;c:\ow\lib386\nt;c:\ow\lib386
|
||
|
|
set INCLUDE=c:\dxsdk9\include;c:\ow\h\nt;c:\ow\h
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is to override the older DirectX headers and libraries
|
||
|
|
supplied with Open Watcom.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is recommended to install the SDK into an 8.3 conforming
|
||
|
|
folder name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Miscellaneous notes on the samples follow:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In most cases, pressing the Esc key will exit the demos.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Direct3D
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
You can use the keys
|
||
|
|
A - toggle animation.
|
||
|
|
R - reset cube to start position.
|
||
|
|
UP/DOWN
|
||
|
|
LEFT/RIGHT
|
||
|
|
PGUP/PGDN - control the object's XYZ position.
|
||
|
|
NUMPAD7/4/8/5/9/6 - control the object's pitch/yaw/roll.
|
||
|
|
NUMPAD+/- - control the object's size
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Inside the code there are toggles for running fullscreen or
|
||
|
|
windowed, with or without a Z-buffer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DirectSound
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
The sample will likely not work properly with "exotic"
|
||
|
|
files (like mp3) encapsulated inside WAV files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DirectShow
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
The sample will likely not work properly with "exotic"
|
||
|
|
files (like mpeg2) encapsulated inside AVI files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Inside the code there is a toggle to allow DirectShow to
|
||
|
|
manage its own window instead of using the application
|
||
|
|
provided one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DirectInput
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
The sample uses the most conservative locking of resources
|
||
|
|
to be maximally Windows friendly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DirectPlay
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
There's currently no DirectPlay example. Using BSD sockets
|
||
|
|
instead is highly recommended.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DirectMusic
|
||
|
|
