DirectX 8.0 sprite rendering wrapper
Hi! I just created a multimedia wrapper for directx 8.0. it aids the programmer in drawing 2d sprites in DirectX 8.0, plus encapsulates windows and direct3d initialization (don't forget directinput) in an elegant, object oriented way. At least I think so .
Since this wrapper is in its early development stages, I would like some feedback so that I can make it better. Just download the library here:
www.geocities.com/gamediaceo/gamedialib.zip
And of coruse I don't expect anybody to make a game and then rate it! At most I expect somebody to play around with the library (I'm working on documentation, so at the moment the most helpful thing is my single example ) and perhaps create a small demo that draws sprites with it.
I would like criticism and praise!
LOL.
Thanx a lot.
Cipher.

I guess maybe I did this wrong...maybe I think I put it in the wrong post. I''ll put this in the DirectX 8.
Or maybe my wrapper just terrible .

how complete is it right now? i might be interested in using it to convert some old GDI games i have to DX, if it''s complete enough to do a 2D card game? or a simple scroller?
Yes - I believe so. What kind of card game are you thinking about?
It is pretty complete - I used it to create several of my previous games. I just have to add sound support later on.
I''m pretty sure it can be used for any 2d game, provided that it is strictly 2d (sprites and etc).
I can lend a hand in helping you develop these games by helping you port your old GDI functions to my new library functions.

Okay, I re-uploaded the wrapper. It now contains some documentation...i believe it would help immeasurably in understanding my class wrappers.

well i just had a look and i don''t think i''ll be able to make use of it after all. i could give you an overview of what i found (and didn''t find) but it''d be kinda harsh, so i think i''ll pass. best of luck anyway.
The example crashes horribly. I still do not know why.
It's LoadTexture() that's screwing around. No time to wonder why now, though. Off to the pub.

There appear to be a few nasty crash bugs in your code... It might be worth revisiting certain parts of it and implementing better error-checking, and suchlike.
Best of luck with it''s development
