• Chitra MS Players move faster at higher framerates

  Okay, this is really bad. Clearly, a hard-coded "2" that's applied to my character's "Left" property on every frame render isn't going to cut it. Obviously, the game will run slow on crappy hardware, and there's not much I can do to prevent that. But the game shouldn't run faster on really good hardware! How can I cap the movement speed, or better yet, guarentee a certain speed within reason I can already calculate frames per second, and h ...Show All

• fenix01 Unmanaged DirectX to solve dependancies?

  Hi, I'm back again! My application is now working fine and converting textures as it should, but I've just sent it to one of the texture guys to give it a run through and it crashes out with an error of "File or assembly name Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D, or one of its dependecies, was not found." As I've come to understand it, that means that the DirectX install that they have isn't enough and that the also need to install the MDX package. Consid ...Show All

The size is 720*576 The rendering does not have to be any faster that this. I have tried two methods of geting the pixels, and both are much too slow. On ...Show All

• Rick Frankel XNA Build questions

  Hello, I'm currently trying to recreate our build process with XNA Build, both to streamline it, and to learn the latter. I'm rather stumped by a few points, though, and am hoping to find help here. 1/ Is there a way to know what a Task (or Module) is, once it's renamed The original name (such as "XNAExec #1") disappears once you rename a task/module, and I haven't found a way to find out what kind it is, short of knowing the p ...Show All

• BNavas TextureLoader gone? Alternatives?

  Hi, I'm new with DirectX and I'm starting with the December 2005 SDK.  It seems like almost every tutorial or sample I've run into uses TextureLoader to retrieve textures.  From what I've seen, and I've looked pretty hard, TextureLoader doesn't exist in Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D anymore contrary to any documentation that I can find. Well, instead I've been using Texture.FromBitmap to load textures, which I guess is okay... But I can't ...Show All
