In learning windows programming with FASM for windows, I've converted 7 examples from Windows Game Programming for dummies: Chapter 5.
See the readme.txt file for some minor instructions for their use.
I've tried these on WindowsXP and would like to know how they work on
older windows OS'es. Enjoy!

looking good on win2k sp4

very nice indeed

Thanks, These are just simple examples . Hopefully will be able to get some DirectX samples up shortly, but, have to convert directdraw/directsound cpp includes to Fasm windows format . This could take a little while , unless someone already has done it, and knows where to download them. . Oh yes, and some more sophisticated windows examples as well !

I was posted a TASM D3DRM example files at this thread not long ago:

http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=1061

Probably converting from TASM is mush easier than from cpp. Hope it's helps...

Looks Good, thanks. I may convert the includes for older windows os's. But, right now I'm concentrating on DX8 and DX9 includes only. The example shouldn't be to difficult to convert though.

So aaro wrote the DX9 include interface! correct? Very Good job! I'm using these as a template to convert a lot of the rest of the DirectX includes, I have more time now so shouldn't be to long now before we have good DX includes for fasm. Also have a windows 2000 black book that says a lot about processes, threads, fibers, communications, etc. which means converting even more windows include files. Of course I'm getting way ahead of myself here.

madmatt,

Nice work

madmatt, yes i did, but i'm thinking maybe i should change it.. Now it might be little bit too high level.. Wich one do you prefer:

or:

I think even nicer would be this comcall D3D.CreateDevice, etc., but i'm not quite sure if this can be done..

And you'r talking about converting more of windows header/includes check this first: http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=1537 tell me if there's something missing and i'll add those. Thanks

I'm using P3, Win95B with DX7. Your Executable example freeze my computer once it display a window with black background color of it client area.

-----------

I'm hoping someone would able to make an example for d3d for DX6 or DX7 and then goes upward. I think it would very easy for beginner catch up and learning from the very basic and the lowest version of D3D. I've tried use DX8 but all my favorite old games losing it video media visuality in game mode. So, I used back DX7.

I guess, there still millions people using WIn95/98 with DX7 or at least on their second machine.

just my 2 cents.

Hi, idon. These examples do not use any directx functions. Did every example crash your system? Do the fasm examples work good on your system. Not sure why it would be crashing your system.

Hi aaro, The first one is just fine. When using directx, a little extra high level wouldn't hurt at all.

Hi aaro, finally downloaded the windows includes that you converted, Good Job!! Is this a replacement for all the includes included with fasm? Have you converted more directx includes, or do you plan to in the near future?

Made those includes for the next version of my stdlib(http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=1107) but you can use them to replace includes that come with fasm. There should be all of the equates and structures that fasm includes have plus many more.

And no i haven't converted more of the directx headers and i think it will take a while before i have enought time to convert them But when i have i'll post them here.
