Could Someone help me? I need some help coding direct input.
Author
I have a directx model with camera controls in it, but I was wondering could someone help me program the camera controls to except input from a joystick to move the camera? I tryed codeguru, but their way was really confusing.
Please post if you have an Idea!

Hey I have gone there and I have tryed to compile the source code, but it doesn't work. I need some good source code on moving a camera with directinput.
The truth is that you don't want to use DirectInput as your input system if you don't have to. Keyboard and mouse input is much more easily handled using Window events, so use those if you can.
Secondly, moving a camera is completely different depending on how your camera is implemented. Usually though, you can adjust the view matrix by translating or rotating based upon camera movement.
Although it's usually best to figure it out yourself, if you are desperate for the quick and easy way out, take a look at some of these tutorials.

I tried to compile it myself and it compiled right out of the box here.
Hard to say what the problem is if you don't provide us with the error messages you get, but it could be that you need to add/modify some directories/options in the project properties.

About the Toymaker website I tryed again at compiling the code and it worked, but I couldn't open the program. I clicked on the CameraDemo.exe, but It just stays the same. I even tryed starting without debuging. I don't know if this is useful,but I use Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.
^- Visual C++ 2005 express
Grats!
I agree cheating is a bad idea the first couple of times you try something out =)
