Spent this morning implementing the First Time Run dialog for Squishy. If no config file exists when the game is run (i.e. the first time), the game displays the above Windows dialog at startup, allowing you to set the graphics options from your desktop.

Was pretty easy really since all the code to detect the graphics capabilities was already written and tested. ResEdit made making the dialog look pretty a breeze as always.

Little details, but these are what make the difference.

I've updated the installer to now use the correct DX runtime, but the problem is that the Nov 2007 runtime is 60 meg so the installer is huge. I think I'll probably go with two installers for demos, one with DX and one without.

Nice to have actually done something with a visible result today though. Last day of the holiday tomorrow then back to work so hopefully I'll achieve a bit more before then.
