I recently migrated to Dark GDK from the Irrlicht and Ogre graphic engines.

Anyways, for the first part of my game I need a "compatibility checker"- eg. a program that checks CPU speed, RAM etc.

When I try to create a window and try to display the CPU speed (through a registry key), the program won't compile. I have checked and made sure all neccessary headers are included.

So here is my question: Is there a Dark Basic function that will retrieve your CPU speed, total Ram etc?

Thanks

GDK doesn't contain a function to get the CPU speed. I'd recommend checking a site like gamedev.net or thecodeproject.com to see examples of how this can be done. Alternatively post the program you have made and someone might be able to help out with why it isn't compiling.

To determine the total system memory use this function int dbSystemTMEMAvailable ( void ).

I found a way to get around it. I made a file called prerequisites.cpp and made it run before any other file, calculated memory, CPU speed etc and then included main.cpp.

Thx for you help though.
