Now added to my web site is the definitive version of my tools that allow you to develop vertex and pixel shaders. Every version is supported with a lot of features and tools included. You can find with some samples included on my website http://robydx.altervista.org/ in the "projectSDK" section.
In projectEnginet you can also find my 3D engine at an early stage of development.

Is this the future of DirectX?

A direct quote from the website

“The XNA development platform will serve as the foundation for future game platforms from Microsoft, including Windows, Xbox and Windows Mobile-based devices.”

A very early version of Dreamquest is available for download. Finally. Many things will be added, but the general idea is already done. I plan to add more RPG elements to the game, like Mana, Experience, Weapon and Armor classes, a.s.o.
If anyone managed to exit the first cave (not with the escape button), let me know, to congratulate you. Of course, I welcome any comment.
The site is refreshed too, reorganized wth lots of new things in it (interviews with the characters from DreamQuest, a checklist, free 3d models: medieval weapons and more).

VBruceLee its a remake of Amstrad CPC 464 BruceLee Game. This is an early beta, with a lot of code work still to do. The engine of plattform, lamps, fire, walls, stairs, cascades is finished, but enemy AI and other stuff still needs to be implemented.
VBruceLee uses DirectX 7.0 only for full screen initialization, all the rest uses Win32 API. This game is written in VB6, so you need the run time libraries. I hope to release the VB 6.0 Source code as soon as possible.
Know Bugs: In some Windows XP, the game runs *** very slowly *** :( (I think this may be a driver / DirectX conflict). Development Machine: AMD K6-2 @ 350Mhz, under Win200 Prof. SP3 with 128 Mb RAM and Voodoo 16 Mb. In this machine the game runs perfectly.
Check it out here:http://www.iespana.es/VBBruceLee/

I have created a small helper library (HXeNUM) with DirectX8 that has the following features:

  • Hardware Adapters Enumeration
  • Checking for Hardware Acceleration Support
  • Screen Display Modes Enumeration
  • Retrieving the current display mode being used in a particular device
  • Evaluation of particular features of the hardware adapter such as Depth Buffer formats, Maximum Active Lights, Maximum Texture Size and Blend Stages.

It's still in a beta version, and so some bugs may be still in it. But, it's supposed to work at most situations.

The ZIP file contain an HTML file for reference, the binaries for the DLL and an example program as well as source code for both.

Are you pretty nifty with VB5 or VB6? Know a bit about programming games? Well, here's the big question: Can you live without DirectX, OpenGL, Win32 APIs, or any other outside library?

I have recently launched a simple challenge, called: Brykovian's Challenge #1 -- OLD SKOOL. Programmers are challenged to make game based upon old schoolyard games using only the native controls and methods from VB5/6.

Deadline is 2-April-2004, but only the first 10 entries will be accepted. Get the details here: http://www.mwgames.com/MessageBoard/viewtopic.php?t=134

After quite some work on the database, and quite some programming work, it's finally ready to go online. An all-new section about inline-ASM code for Visual Basic. Created to really get the fastest code in visual basic. Only a simple loop through an array, and adding a number to the array item is already 400% faster.

It's also possible to do things now, that are (were) basically impossible from Visual Basic. A copymemory clone.. using MMX, Getting the CPU information, etc.

Note though, that this is truely for the die-hard programmers, I hope to get a nice code-snippet database online, for various sorts of code. For example, string functions and math functions. Therefore you can submit your own ASM code to Vb Fibre now, hopefully making it a mini planet-source-code ;).

I'd say, have a look!
