Hi All,

Even though I`m a new DBP coder, I have many years of programming behind me.
Before I start developing my first game, I thought I`d make some utility DLLs which would help me. These would include:

1. The fastest possible string manipulation (Assembler), as the inbuilt string stuff seems to be quite slow?
2. Fast maths functions useful for game development - tracking, intercepts, assorted trig.
3. Encryption, compression and other intensive processes
4. Talking to remote highscore table databases
5. 2D image/texture manipulation / generation

etc.etc.

Anyway, If you would like to see any new (or faster) functions, or can let me know where there is a gap / need for new or improved functions, then I`ll be happy to add them.

Well, are you familiar with Precomputed Radiance Transfer?

I'd refer to my other thread, requesting a new xInput .dll or a rework of Raven's old one.

It would help me tremendously!

@lover of games: no, 'fraid not. [although after looking, I think if you are into that, then DBP is not the right development platform for you?]

@ento: I have done something like this, but for a PS2 controller. I don't have an xbox or an xbox controller, so it would be difficult
