• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. C# - DirectX 9.0c - Creating a Basic Hexagon

  I was wondering if someone could walk me through drawing a basic hexagon using DirectX 9.0c in C#. I've been using the Vector3 structure, and I am having problems understanding how to initialize the view transformation matrix for a hexagon, as well as what input vectors will represent the hexagon (understandably 6). Thank you in advance, Owen The view matrix (nor the world or projection) isn't something you change to draw a shape. They change how the shape is drawn to the screen. Firstly, draw out your hexgon and use some math to calculate the coordinates of the vertices. If you math isn't ...Show All

You are the only chance that we have to solve this problem, so thanks again. Dr. G. Varnagy Caracas - Venezuela ...Show All

What is the best approach to detect when the workflow is active (because of creation or hydration) and inactive (because of dehydration or completion) I want to use these events to open and close my resources. maybe the easiest is to hook into the events of the WorkflowRuntime like "WorkflowLoaded" and "WorkflowPersisted". ...Show All
