• Uka Sprite Problem

  I'm trying to do some simple 2D graphics with DirectX 9.0 (April version), so the first step is to display bitmaps. I found a tutorial that applies a texture to a rectangular triangle fan (quad), and that works perfectly. However, when I try to display a bitmap with the ID3DXSprite object, it looks a little blurry, as if the bitmap is offset from the screen coordinates by some fraction. When using the texture-quad method, apparently you must ...Show All

• SimonDM Having a cpu usage issue...

  My app is direct3d9 using a small oop framework i made. When the application is running (windowed) my computer has ~15% cpu usage. When i focus another window on top of that one or i minimize the window, cpu usage goes all the way up to 100%... very annoying i really dont know wat the prob is.

• GWizmo Vertex Shader 1.1 SGE assembler instruction fails for me.

  Thought I would try out this new forum. Hardware is NVidia 6800GT with 79.70 Instrumented drivers for Perfkit. I created a DX8 Effect for color conversion purposes. DX8 because I map into games and need to handle DX7, 8, 9, and someday 10. I copy the back buffer to a texture and render it to a quad on a rendertarget surface. I copy the rendertarget data to a plain surface in system space where I unlock it and view the contents so that I c ...Show All

• Vipin.B Coordinate System

  Hi  everyone! I need some help here... I am trying to write a D3D-application which renders different objects depending on choises from a menu..

• NeilMaclean How to make a trainer.

  Does anybody on this forum know how to make a video game trainer in c++ (using visual c++ express) I would like to know how to do this. I know it is not impossible. I have searched the internet and all the examples I could find are either extremely old or they are for asm (which I do not know). I am fluent in vb and vb.net, if that matters. If someone would be nice enough to explain the process to me, it would be great. Thank you. I alre ...Show All

• Jace314 Directx 9.0 with C# 2005 Express

  I saw some great Webcast videos on MSDN Introducing 2D Gaming with C#. I have downloaded and installed, DirectX 9.0. The videos referenced Visual C# 2005 Express.

  Using the December 2005 SDK How do i scale a texture to be drawn to the screen on a sprite MDX 1.x had Sprite.Draw2D(...) which took a destinationRectangle.   The draw2d call is still included in the 1.1 assemblies, but in the MDX 2 system the draw2d has been removed. If you look in the simple2d sample from the sdk, there is an example of drawing sprites using both the Draw2d method and the draw ...Show All

• Carlos Valenzuela weird sprite positioning behaviour

  I am currently designing a simple 2D breakout game using Direct3D. I created a custom sprite class that allows easy drawing of 2d graphics. However, my problem started when I decided to scale some of my sprites. When i call Sprite.Draw2D (or even Sprite.Draw), and I specify a rectangle for the DestinationRectangle parameter that is larger than the size of the texture (thus, scaling the sprite). If i were to then draw this sprite on the scr ...Show All

  I have been developing some board and card games with MDX using C# (.NET 2.0), and I want to take the step into making them available to play online in a multi-player environment.

As I started to work with DirectPlay I soon found it was deprecated, and that developers were moving to the Sy ...Show All
