Hello First of all excuse me for my english ^_^ I wrote not big game "Puzzle" and I want you to see it. I am most interesting in how much the game will like to you. What is good there and what is not good? What impressions you have? And maybe I missed some bugs in code, if you notice them, please tell me here. Download game here: http://www.gamedev.ru/download/?id=3481 Thanks Edit: I forgot, you must put game file in folder with jpeg or bmp files, then program will work.

It is very strange. Game must start without dependences of other files in the same folder.
Maybe there are another reason for not_starting. Game can work only with resolution 1024x768 and refresh_rate>=75. At the starting it check resolution and if it is not correct, game will try to find a videomode with appropriate parametrs. If there is no such videomode, it exit (and not display any message!)
Please check your video system abilities.
Game have worked on many different computers, but there was no problems like this.

>Use the .zip format instead of the .rar format since .zip is more common.
I`ll remember it

>Supply graphics ...
It is a pity, but I can not translate this v_v
I understand each word, but can`t understand the whole sentence. Please, if it is not difficult for you, make another sentence with other words and with the same content

It won't run on my old monitor. It only supports 60hertz.

What Enselic means by "Supply graphics" is that you should include the images used in the game along with the .exe. Hopefully, that can be translated.

Ok, I understood "Supply graphics". I wanted to include picture with the game, but I changed my mind. I did so for faster downloading.

I look game code right now and I have idea. Change your resolution by hand to 1024x768 with any refresh rate and try to start game. That may solve problem.

Write here if you succeed

Very sorry, really v_v
I had wrote this game one year ago. In those time I was beginner and made stupid mistakes. The Puzzle code is awful. And there were some reasons why I was wating for year to demonstrate game.
Here a part of initialization code, maybe it helps somehow

bool CMyApplication::InitDirect3DDevice()
{
if(NULL == (pDirect3D = Direct3DCreate9(D3D_SDK_VERSION)))
return false;

ZeroMemory(&Direct3DParametr, sizeof(Direct3DParametr));
Direct3DParametr.Windowed = FALSE;
Direct3DParametr.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD;
Direct3DParametr.EnableAutoDepthStencil = TRUE;
Direct3DParametr.AutoDepthStencilFormat = D3DFMT_D16;
Direct3DParametr.BackBufferCount = 3;

D3DDISPLAYMODE Display;

pDirect3D->GetAdapterDisplayMode(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, &Display);
if(Display.Height != 768 || Display.Width != 1024)
{
UINT i=0;
for(; i < pDirect3D->GetAdapterModeCount(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8); i++)
{
pDirect3D->EnumAdapterModes(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8, i, &Display);
if(Display.Height == 768 && Display.Width == 1024 && Display.RefreshRate >= 75)
break;
}
if(i == 0)
return false;
}
Direct3DParametr.FullScreen_RefreshRateInHz = Display.RefreshRate;
Direct3DParametr.BackBufferFormat = Display.Format;
Direct3DParametr.BackBufferWidth = Display.Width;
Direct3DParametr.BackBufferHeight = Display.Height;


if(FAILED(pDirect3D->CreateDevice(
D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, hWnd,
D3DCREATE_HARDWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING,
&Direct3DParametr, &pDevice)))
return false;

pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_CULLMODE, D3DCULL_NONE);

return true;
}

Ok

I forgot:
Game in Russian. I`ll translate. When you start game, there 3 buttons from up to down:
-New game
-Load/Save
-Exit

New game window:

at the right - level of complication

Load/Save window:
left bottom button - Load
right bottom button - Save
in the center - list of saved files

Game window:
type 'g' to show grid
press space button to see the full picture

In game use 3 mouse buttons to manipulate picture parts
