The next installment of the 'Windows game programming for dummies' is ready. We now finally! have some sound examples. see readme file for info.
AsmDemon, I need your ftp site to upload the examples to. I had to completely reformat my harddrive and reinstall windows, and forgot to save my favorites links. Thanks
MadMatt

Did so, thanks.

And now you can download at: ftp://68.225.35.57/
We now finally have sound in these examples!, enjoy.

hi madmatt,

I'm still stuck with DX7. Is there any way where we could 'define' DX version before compiling the source code so previous version of DX user still can use the example using DX9 includes like in c/cpp?

i-don.

I'll look into it, I don't know if the 'IF - ENDIF' commands will work with the new struct macros. If they do then I probably can adjust the includes for that feature. Are you having problems?

Only for example 13. See pic below...

Probably you don't have DirectX 8 installed.

That's right, you had directdraw 7, sorry bout that. I changed the
create directsound object command from DirectSoundCreate8 to
DirectSoundCreate. This should solve the problem.
I uploaded the fixed examples at the ftp site: ftp://68.225.35.57/

hey madmatt,

It's working now. Still, if it can be done to switch between different version of DX using a kind of single line of directive would be nice DX wrapper in fasm.

BTW, its a great DirectX learning package. Keep up the good works!

cheers,

i-don

That's good. I'll look into this, It'll most likely be after I complete most, if not all the examples in the book. Since no one that I know of is having trouble, it will be at the low end of the TO-DO list.


Thanks, enjoy converting the examples (except when trying to translate those C++ complex functions, OOOooo those migrains do hurt!), and learning directx in the process. All in all it is a very gratifying experience. And of course, if other people can learn from them as well, all the better I feel.
