I just now got Dark Game SDK downloaded and I tried to just try a simple helo world program and typed in

I left

and my error is

Quote: "--------------------Configuration: Main - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
Main.cpp
c:\program files\the game creators\dark game sdk - freeware edition\include\darksdkdisplay.h(17) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'd3d9.h': No such file or directory
Error executing cl.exe.

You have to have the Directx9 SDK installed and setup correctly for one thing, that error message suggests you haven't.

The reason some think your kidding is because:
Quote: "print "hello world"
wait key"

Isn't going to work as thats basic code, you would need to call the correct db commands from the DarkgameSDK, I can't help you there as I don't have it myself yet.

You need the DirectX SDK - not just DirectX installed (as you would for games or DBPro). Get the SDK from the Microsoft web site and install it. It's massive (some 220MB+) so you'll know for sure when you've found it.

The reason people think you were joking is because you cannot use basic commands in a C++ compiler. You need to use C++ commands along with the appropriate Dark SDK functions.

If you are using Microsoft vc++ 6 there are at least a few threads here that tell how to set it up. You have to have DX9 and the DX9 SDK installed and in the include section in vc++. I can't tell how to do it right out of my head because I don't have the program open but I know there is a thread here on it because TCA or what ever he is calling himself now posted it in a thread I started about setting up vc++ 6.

If you ask nicely, I will give you the links for the Visual Studio 6.0 DirectX 9.0c Library and Header files. Total download is 19 megs.

Your code should have looked something like this:

Rich - if I might make a suggestion, it might be in your best interest to distribute just the DX libs/headers with DGSDK, as not everyone will be able (or willing) to download the 230MB SDK. I don't know if there are licensing issues with that, but I don't see why there would be - the DX SDK is free, after all, and there are several "conversion" projects out there for using the DXSDK with Delphi, Borland etc.

I think there will because it would mean splitting the SDK up.

So you know it is 222mb.

I just got it recently on a 56k modem, took about 12-14 hours to get it.

No - the sync is always needed for proper display that is.
