What files do i have to include so others can play my game ( the .exe ) made with DarkPhysics and DarkGDK?
Or does everyone who wants to play my game have to download the NVIDIA PhysX drivers?

They say it's better to burn out, than it is to fade away...

The game .exe file itself and media, and the user has to install the Physx drivers, now called: "NVIDIA PhysX System Software" (Google).

Installed it on systems without hardware acceleration capable NVidia and ATI gfx cards. So if one don't use acceleration dependent (fluids) physics it works for most semi modern systems.

With DarkGDK, sadly, I believe you need to include the 4 DLL's that you get when you install DarkPhysics for DarkGDK. I might be wrong, but I think you need to distribute these 4 DLL's with your game.

ok, so i have to include these 4 dlls, too. heard about that before...
but i think its not good that one has to download those drivers.
they are about ~40 mb, so you either have to include this or tell the user to download them before they can play the game!

Yeah, either an installation program that checks that the system software package is present and install if not, or just have it as a written prerequisite depending on the users computer savvy to install them manually. They are installed with the normal Nvidia gfx drivers though (after a certain version, i don't remember). So if the end user has fairly new Nvidia gfx drivers they should be ok. ATI users have to install the System software.
