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.
