@kBessa, APEXnow:

I think the toolkit is now fully object oriented, but still not so .NET oriented!!

@kBessa:

About music I'm working on a library based on DirectShow to play video and music. It will be fully object-oriented, hiding all the low-level stuff.

@Yoda:

The problem with DirectShow is that you rely on what filters people may have installed on their PCs. I myself have a OGG/Vorbis filter, but I am not sure if someone playing my game will have it. As a matter of fact, if you have OGG/Vorbis filter, DarkGDK is able to load .ogg files, as DirectSound does use DirectShow filters.

About the classes, some decisions were made to make them more similar to DarkGDK and DBPro, like using Delete instead of Dispose, but I think that's something APEXnow can just add, keeping the Delete method as well.

But the DarkGDK.NET should be designed for people who program with .NET, not for people who use DarkGDK or DBPro. I think they prefer using their tools instead of learning a new one.

As far as I know...DarkGDK.NET is based on DarkGDK binaries...What does this mean? What happen when I call a GDK.NET function? 9-|

What do you think about implementing an unique version written in C++/CLR, like SlimDX? We would have huge speed and objects at the same time! And TGC wouldn't have to maintain two different versions anymore. A great saving of work for them and more better products for everybody!! 6

@Yoda:

That would make a .NET requirement for people not using the .NET version, so I think it would be unnaceptable. The best solution for an almost unified development would be if DarkGDK was composed of DLL instead of Static Libraries, as the .NET version would only require a small wrapper with P/Invoke's, instead of a full re-compilation.

Actually, I've been taking a look at PureGDK, it seems that it just uses DBPro's DLLs. So why didn't DarkGDK and DarkGDK.NET followed the same path? As an update to DBPro would virtually update all of these products.

@kBessa:
You're right!!! I was not thinking at the .NET requirement. This solution has no way to be implemented.

@jason p sage:

I think C-based languages are bad enough.

However SlimDX is written in C++/CLR as far as I know and it works great.

I think i also have found some Bugs?

I've tried to use the Rotate commands for the Image and the Sprite class but it just stays static, no Rotations at all!

And also for the Text-class.
The Text.SetColor() don't work! trying to set it to any color i.e. Text.SetColor(System.Drawing.Color.Red);, the text stays white!

I think there is too many bugs!

Best regards,
Yerrel

@yerrel:

I used sprite rotation without any bugs. Can you post some code? Maybe you are doing something wrong!

About text class....I think is quite useless...It offers too poor performance...Try the kBessa LightText plugin...It also offers wonderfull antialiased text!

About SetColor in Text class...I don't understand why they kept that command....It wasn't working even in the previous release...If you want to change color for Text you have to use the Ink command in Basic2D class.

Hi,

a very annoying thing I found is that the vSync option of SetDisplayMode isn't working at all, at least on my machines.

Quote: "Function SetDisplayModeExC(lWidth As Long, lHeight As Long, lDepth As Long, lMode As Long) As Boolean"


Using lMode 0 or 1 leaves the screen dark.

A quick question:
Will the methods from the DGDK SetDisplayModeAntialiased and such implemented into DGDK.NET?

And btw. Apex, you've done a good job porting the GDK stuff to .NET

Cheers

DarkGDK.NET is fantastic. I'm having fun coding with it so far, but have found a few problems:

1. Creating an object from a mesh does not create a valid object (I have posted this already, but I'm fairly convinced this is a bug now http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=144382&b=22):

DarkGDK.Basic3D.Object3D myObj = new DarkGDK.Basic3D.Object3D(myMesh);

2. There is no way to specify the texture stage in Limb.ScaleTexture
3. There is also no way to specify the texture stage in Limb.ScrollTexture

Hello, I have DarkGDK.NET with Studio.NET 2008. I seem to have a problem reading the keyboard. Here is the lines of code.

If DarkGDK.IO.Keyboard.Up Then
iRightPaddleY = iRightPaddleY - 2
If iRightPaddleY < 0 Then iRightPaddleY = 0
End If

I was able to use VB.NET to read the shift and CTRL keys as you can see in the included code.
I wish it had a better manual, with actual code examples. I'm trying to learn it by recoding DarkBasic Pro code into it. Everything else works so far. Could someone please help me? Thank you.

Hi Lance

If you use a form and the viewport control then it will not intercept the keyboard. You need to start your program from a module and create your own window using the DarkGDK Display class. I've updated your code and have attached for you to have a look at.

Cheers

Thanks Palace, I actually solved that issue before it even posted here to the forum, it took so long I thought it did not go through. The answer is on page 1 of this thread actually. I missed it the first time through.
I have an issue now with the IO.File class now. I can not figure out how to use it. I've tried everything I can think of, I keep getting I can't use new because it is a protected friend.
How I wish there was example code for all the methods.
Thank you anyone that can help.

Hello yes it is me again. I want to thank you again Palace for your help, I'm now using the module you gave me, I made a new template with it for starting new projects. I don't know why the one that came with DarkGDK.NET was not like that. Why is there even a form in the template, when you don't use it?
On to my next issue that I can't seem to figure out. How do I put a background image on a 2D program without using one big sprite? When I try using one giant sprite it seems to mess up other sprites.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hi Lance

I had troubles as well when I first tried using the library. The help is really not that good (considering you have to pay for DarkGDK.NET and DarkGDK is free), so what I did was take the Dark Invaders C++ game for DarkGDK and re-wrote it for DarkGDK.NET (in VB). I'm half way through writing a tutorial for it as it covers a fair bit of 2D stuff. I've included the original Dark Invaders doco. It's in C++ but you should get an understanding of how the game works. Most of the VB code follows the C++ design with a few changes.
Hopefully it might get you on the right track.

Cheers

Ok, I see there are still quite a few issues to contend with. The toolkit is huge now and I appreciate the feedback on bugs that are found. All bugs and issues reported, I will fix. If I cannot fix due to an internal libraray issue, I will pass onto the main stream, but I appreciate and will fix any issues reported that I can.

Paul.

I don't know if this goes under bugs, however when I test a project created in XP in Windows 7, the sprites don't work right. They leave a trail that they should not leave. In XP it works as it should.
I was wondering if anyone else has ran into this issue. I am going to do some more testing using virtual machines, I'll keep you updated. This is the project. It is a work in progress so incomplete, however you can run it and see that in XP or maybe even Vista, it works, but I think it has to do with DirectX 10 or something, I don't know as of yet.
Thank you for any help.
[update]
I created a fresh XP Virtual Machine, installed VS 2008, and GDK.NET. The project works as expected in Windows XP, but in Windows 7 the sprites leave a trail. That is they don't delete themselves from the screen so that they move, instead they leave copies of the sprite on the screen. So this looks to be some kind of bug. If you have more questions, let me know, thanks!

Hi Apex, I got a few problems. I use Windows 7 basic and the SharpDevelop ide (I use SharpDevelop for more than 1 year and tried lots of SDKs successfully, I doubt if the IDE matters).


1. During the DarkGDK.NET installation I get this error:

Quote: "Module C:\Windows\system32\DGDK.dll failed to register.
HRESULT -2147010895.
Contact your support personnel."


I press the continue button though and installation completes, but I do hardcopy the DGDK.dll to C:\Windows\system32 by myself.




2. When I try to run one example I get this exception:

Quote: "See the end of this message for details on invoking

3. When I try to open an example I get this error :

What is this stdole assembly? Is it included with DarkGDK.NET?

If I remove stdole and compile I will get this error:

4. If I make a new project, include the assemblies DarkGDK and DGDKPlugins and type this code:



I will get this error:

Unfortunately DarkGDK.NET remains unusable for me at the moment.
That's all the information I could provide, I lack any other more advanced knowledge of spotting technical issues.

If I missed some information that you think is useful just ask me, I 'll be here.

the DarkGDK.Basic2D.Drawing.Dot command appears to use the X parameter of both the X and Y position.

Example

DarkGDK.Basic2D.Drawing.Dot(200,10)

Actually draws a dot at 200,200

Just creating some D3D 2D Drawing demos and wondered why DarkGDK was drawing a line

@APEXnow:

I don't know if someone already noticed this but the method "PerformCheckListForGraphicsCard" is mispelled: In the toolkit is called "PeformCheckListForGraphicsCard", an "r" is missing!!

Another thing: Are you going to make a new class design in the new release? Because I think the toolkit is far away from being really ".NET oriented". I believe it's classes are too different from classes defined in the microsoft framework itself. I think that who use DarkGDK.NET wants an ".NET implementation" like me, otherwise he would use DarkGDK for C++ or DarkBasicPro.

The last thing: I think CheckLists in the ".NET implementation" are the worst thing in the entire DarkGDK.NET class library. Any other implementations are on the way?

Yoda,

Can you be more specific about '.NET Oriented'? You have to understand, that the DarkGDK class library is a wrapper for the underlying Interop library which encapsulates the exact same functionality as the DarkGDK C/C++ version.

I have had no plans to do a complete interface overhaul, but to expand and improve the existing one. I'm happy to take suggestions on improving the existing interface, i.e. the Check List functions could be more object oriented I agree. But with respect to being completely object oriented, I have to work with the interop library in order to achieve the same level of functionality.

Paul.

I found an BUG.

You cant draw Text over Sprite, but you can draw it over Image.

I try this using the oDBText.Text and the DarkGDK.Text function.
but both with the same result, i also tried D3DFunc.Net Plugin Text function and the same result

here is my sample using ODBText.Text

Will not work


Will work


Could TGC please fix this bug?....

That's not a bug, that's just how sprites work. Text and images are temporary. Once you clear the screen they are gone, you have to redraw them to show them. Sprites are permanent. Once you create them, they always draw themselves when you call sync, even if you don't call the 'sprite' function. To stop them drawing you have to delete them.

If you only want sprites to draw when you choose, make them invisible, and call 'paste sprite' to draw it. That way you can draw images and text over it.
