Is it correct that objects arent showing up correctly, or not at all.

Pitty! I really hope there wil be a next release with fixes!

Are you using shaders on these objects? Shaders that do not compile produce invisible objects...

Now the plot thickens, the fps decreases, and the awesomeness goes through the roof.

@_Pauli_: No, just even simple cubes dont show up for me. The other version worked very good, sticking to that.

Any chance for an official June sdk anytime? Folk like N3wton are doing it all themselves.

If you mean the 2010 June SDK, then it probably won't come. In one of the earlier SDKs(either June 2010 or one of the 2009 ones), they removed the DirectDraw library from the SDK. That library was the library that ran the Basic2D part of DarkGDK/DBP. So they'd have to recode the Basic2D part of DarkGDK and DBP in order to update to the June 2010 SDK.

Sprites use the 3D engine, not the 2D engine. They're basically 3D plains textured with images, with more limited depth control.

Apologies if I'm in the wrong board but...
I am starting the St Vincent's CIS web page on C++ and it uses DarkGDK, but references VisualStudio Express 2008. What do I need to do if I have Visual Studio 2010 Professional (thank you Dreamspark)?

For reference this is the page that links to TGC:
http://cis.stvincent.edu/html/tutorials/swd/basic/gdk/index.html

Thank you.

Just as an FYI, if you use PureGDK instead of DarkGDK, you can use any standards compliant C++ compiler.

C++ projects supported out of the box include:

GNU make/g++ (gcc compiling may require setup)
nmake/vc++ (vcvars32.bat compiling should work out of the box)
Visual Studio 6
Visual Studio .NET
Visual Studio .NET 2003
Visual Studio 2005
Visual Studio 2008
Visual Studio 2010

If you really want to use DarkGDK, you can get the Visual Studio 2010 static libraries here:

http://files.thegamecreators.com/darkgdk/DarkGDK_Update_OCT10.zip

Because DarkGDK is statically linked you must match the static libraries to the target compiler. You can use either Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010.

Yeah. Seems time for an update in my opinion.
Been over a year since we've heard anything...

Yes I know PureGDK is everything DarkGDK is and better, I used the beta and it was great, but I am a poor student with little money

Max

I doubt that we will see an official update anytime soon.
The support for DarkGDK from TGC has been pretty low for some time now...
Well, why should they spent resources on fixing a freely available C++ library (that has even been made Open Source) when they're making good profit from AppGameKit and other commercial stuff?

Hey, as far as I know, DGDK commercial license is still on sale.
And there is an official DGDK update for Visual Studio 2010 (this thread )

I've been long enough around to know that one year is not that much. Maybe the new Ultrabook/Windows platform fosters this side of the TGC community once again.

However I agree that a new alignment with DBPro would be nice, and it is about time
So if the question is, will we be getting any more updates to GDK? Well I don't see why not, but don't ask when!
After all, if you are not buying licenses, you cannot expect a full support.

By the way, I recently upgraded the DGDK libraries from the old 7.3, that I used for my last release, to the newer 7.4 and this October 2010 version (that I call 7.5), and guess what, the new libraries (7.4 and above) perform much faster.

I got stressing scenarios that have improved from 1 fps to 10 fps. And so, the next MPL3D release will have a lucky performance boost, due to the change of libraries.

Yeah Morcilla, it wasn't a compliant.

I'm just trying to figure if GDK has still got legs in it. I really like coding in C++ but I don't want to go have to figure out the Direct X SDK, or switch again to Pure GDK. I old and stubborn, was hard enough for me to switch from DB Pro to GDK in the first place.

It's not my fault!
