Arcade Source Code

Post by Mit »

For those of you interested in tryin out some C stylee codin (i.e. knox :] )

http://i-lands.net/ArcadeSourceJan04.zip

This includes the latest (partly functional) Interface.dll, .lib and headers which give you easy access to a small group of functions for creating a directX window and drawing 2d graphics.

For more info, read the readme.txt in the zip :)

I've read the first few chapters of the C tutorial. You should be expecting a barrage of total nonsense any time soon :p

Now i'm new to C/C++ but I noticed several header files called for in the code are missing. Is there a reason for that?

Nope shouldnt be.. which ones are you referring to?
Only requirements in there should be the Interface.h and StandardDef.h, both are included in the zip.

Nevermind, They must be some of those "built in" headers that I see in the tutorials like "iostream.h"

Do you mean the standard libs...

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
...the Windows SDK...

Code: Select all

#include <windows.h>
...or the DirectX SDK...

Code: Select all

#include <d3dx8.h>
..?

Those things come built in with all C/C++ compilers - they include lots of commonly used functions such as things for opening and reading from a file, formatting a line of text, etc etc. (e.g fopen, fread, sprintf etc).
