well, if I have any luck getting the SlimDX guys to recompile their dll into COM format (or at least offer one as an alternative to the .NET version), it would give indirect access Dx11/Direct2d. Other than that possiblity, the only other way I know of getting Dx11/Direct2D to function in FB, would ...

for the runtime dependancies..

Sdk? oh that will probably eat another 300 GBs...

update: Dabooda.org is up again, click me... here ya go... it's a mirror of our site until we can get things caught up with our usual web hosting provider.... Even though the site is down, we are still around. While I will say the freebasic dabooda turbo wrapper is done, I am waiting until I am done...

I would have to concur with Landeel. I suspect WinXP will become microsoft's problem child, if it hasn't already. True, peeps running duel/quad/octo core systems will likely move on to Win7(which might a future thorn of a simular nature to ms...), but folks who are running older systems (let alone t...

Is FreeBASIC doomed to the 32 bit world? Has anyone tried FB on a 64 bit OS? Yes. It's no different than running on a 32-bit OS. Apps compile and operate fine. Oh, wait.. yeah there is a change of procedure if you are going to be using COM-based libraries, but it's just a simple change of installat...

(dabooda turbo, DBHGE, DBOS, i.e. Our own. ;)

lol


Aside from them, chisock, OpenGL, DirectX, allegro, Bass, fmod, and havok(if I ever figure out how to get it running on fb...)

In the past 4 years, this community has remained the best imho. If you run into issues, there is always someone out there willing to help, even they are having a hard time with the same topic. The teamwork here is wonderful. I wouldn't worry about age either, there is a strong number of coders here ...

If you need an engine in a ready to go fashion using bi files then IrrlichtWrapper would be a good way to go. Then there is DBFE, where a translator takes in pseudo-OO code that is mixed with fb and pops out fb source using dispatchhelper to handle actual dabooda turbo calls(activex/dx8) (soon to be...

Seeing as I am one of the dev's working on dabooda Turbo (2D is the old name..) The Engine class may have some of those gaps due to initializing it's 'sub-classes' such as DBMath, DBTexture, and DBSprite.. You've probably noticed that DBVertex and (if your looking at 1.5 alpha) DBPeer2Peer will like...

Thank you! ^_^
This is going to help a ton!
Wonderful timing, I've just stablized the alpha build of DBT 1.5
I'll post a link once it's ready for beta..

Yeppers that fixed it on my end.

I managed to run a few more tests before I slip off to work tonight. (still using new vid card...) while 1024x768x16 in fullscreen works fine, in windowed it doesn't. In 800x600x16 windowed mode, I actually got a frame rate of 57 at the immediate startup, and then after running over a column or two ...

Vulgar sums it up quite nice! :) fair warning I just upgraded my vid card on my vista rig. results: at start: 0 points 61/60 fps:489:2690 57890 points (yay me!.. I'm a fellow lol) 61/60 fps:190:740 settings: 1024x768x32 No Vsync Medium Priorty Aspect Ratio Matched I will try it using my integrated v...

I'm one of the girls. sort of. lol Well, failing that.. if any ladies have FreeBASIC themed Yaoi fantasy, I can gladly do that in trade for a freeBASIC themed Yuri fantasy.. XD Seriously though, it really shouldn't matter. Female coders do exist. I have one to thank years ago who took the time to sh...

I don't have any *real* experience with excel, and modest amounts of experience with disphelper. If I am reading this right, it looks like you are trying to run a thread parallel with your main code and have them communicate values back and forth. My first thunk was there any variables that need to ...
