Just a question, not a biggy:
I wrote the attached little prog. It very smoothly rotates the cube. When I click on the 'X' to close the app and MAN! it really starts spinning! I saw something somewhere here about how to get the 'X' to work, and I will find it. But, what I really want to know is what makes my app really start humming when I hit the 'X'?

BTW, VC6 SP5, debug mode...

Try :

while (LoopSDK())
{
if (!dbEspaceKey()
{
return;
}

...
}

in TCA's example change this line:

if (!dbEspaceKey()


to:

if ( dbEscapeKey() )


Otherwise your game will be the shortest of all time (as well as not compiling using TCA's unique spelling and missing bracket )

Indeed - in full, its :

while ( LoopSDK ( ) )
{
if ( dbEscapeKey ( ) )
return;
...
}

No idea how it go so mangled as it was a copy & paste job

Quite true...

Oh by the way - with Dark Dungeon, there is a noticable pause when first firing (ala HL2)...

With Dark Dungeon. I wish the enemies will stay down, They bounce back up quicker then I can shoot . Amazing work for 4 days though.
