• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Managed DirectX 2.0 Beta and XInput

  I have a general question regarding the Managed DirectX 2.0 Beta: Using Intellisense, I was able to figure out how to get a Direct3D Device up and running dispite the minor (and sometimes major) differences. I also found that XInput, in contrast to programming with XInput in unmanaged C++, this version is lacking a lot, such as all of the core functions that update and get the state of a controller. Forgive me if I am completely off the ma ...Show All

The rules are a little complex but I managed to simplify them a little for the program. The one problem I am having is actually with C# itself, I don't believe it is my code because I have rewritten the algorithm numerous times. Here is the problem. The values for ...Show All
