Arcade Functions

[Mattizme]

Mit,

Is there a full list anywhere of the functions included in the Arcade.dll? Just wondering, as this may be useful for people.

Also, how hard would it be to add a couple more things in, such as Adding Lines as well as boxes, and rotating sprites?

Again, if Mit give me an idea of what is public and what is not, i can take care of that documenting the arcade stuff part.

As for the extra stuff you ask for, you can do it yourself until we add it : a line is a box that has no height, and as for the rotating sprite you can do it with multiple textures of the same object.

Then if you don't like those dirty hacks, we can add the required functions. 'tis just a question of spending a few minutes on it

Standardised 2d line routines and rotatable sprites are both planned for the interface.dll eventually... no promises when.
Public Arcade.dll and source will be put up soon. (Tho thats my definition of the word "soon", not everyone elses).

There isnt really anything to document with the arcade.dll itself. It only has like 3 functions, ArcadeInit, ArcadeDraw, ArcadeFree.. somethin like that.
The only thing the arcade.dll does is to pass the program flow into the code you've written yourself, and i cant really document that :]

I actually meant stuff like InterfaceDrawSprite n sheet like tha.. ah well :]

[Mit]

You mean u want docs for the interface.dll? That i can arrange...

Here you are :

Code: Select all

void main(void)
{
  while(1)
  {
      fork()
  }
}

Hints :
- i am not sure fork() exists on windows...
- be ready to reboot
