I'm trying to be a good citizen in my DirectX7 app and release all of my DX interfaces when I exit my program, but for some strange reason when I run my app on Win XP Pro, when I exit the program normally by clicking an "exit" button, m... |

Hi,
Somewhat new to D3D so please forgive the noobness.

DirectInput equivelant

Hi, I'm sure you've seen this post before, but the search for me isn't turning up anything useful. I'm working on a D3D app, but for some reason I'm getting nervous about DirectX going away or being unsupported in future versions of windows, an... |

Determine width of text (in pixels) on Windows screen
|
The difference is actually quite significant. When the calculation comes back from DrawText() or GetTextExtentPoint32(), in one example, I get a value of 134. When I count the pixels on the screen, it is actually 609 pixels wide. It's a... |

Determine width of text (in pixels) on Windows screen

Correct - I take a screen shot, and count the pixels. I compare that to the value my application logs for the calculated width of the string, and they never come out the same. There seems to be some kind of discrepancy either with the conversion f... |

Interesting, I didn't realize that doing stunts would give you ammo, I'll have to try that out. I did get the ammo power-ups from destroying the enemies but I'll give the stunts a go tonight. I also saw that you give demos on how to do the stu... |

Collisions for Ranged attacks?

For the 2D scroller I made, I just kept one list of projectiles for the player and one list of projectiles for enemies (I used stl vectors actually, but that's another topic). I assumed enemy projectiles would not hit enemies and player pr... |

Collision detection question

In the SMUP I developed I used a simple bounding box approach; a master bounding box which covered the entire graphic, and a list of small bounding boxes that covered only the portions of the bitmaps that were actually part of the enemy. If the... |
