Alright I have just spent the last 2 hours trying to get this to work
I am fairly new at linking, installing libraries - one of the reasons I have avoided the SDK for a bit. I got a decent working compiler. Visual C++ .Net Edition 7.1 (standard)
Alright, using the instruction
Quote: "To add the library path to the Visual Studio .NET 2003 environment. Note that you must use the LIB files in the "VS7" folder -
go to "tools\options\projects" and select "vc++ directories"
add the Dark Game SDK library directory to the list of folders e.g. "c:\program files\the game creators\dark game sdk\lib\vs7"
"
I have done this step
Quote: "Creating A New Project - Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
Create a new, blank Win32 Project. Add in the basic code required to start a Dark Game SDK project - see the program requirements section.
"
Quote: "Program Requirements
When using the SDK it's important to note the following -
you must include "DarkSDK.h" in your source
you must use the function "DarkSDK" as your application entry point
These requirements are demonstrated in this code example -
#include "DarkSDK.h"
void DarkSDK ( void )
{
}
"
Now looking at this I have 2 Options that look like what I need
1) Win32 Project & a 2) Win32 Console Project
I assume that it's #1
With that it comes up with 4 main options
1) Windows Application, 2) Console Appilcation 3)Dll, 4) Static
I don't think it's any 3,4.
There is another option below it makred as Empty Project. (this I assume will creat it blank?)
Extreamly confused and new to Vc++ Net 2003 IDE and compiler (the one thing I hate about useing thse programs - once I am over the hump it's all fine- untill that point I loose alot of hair).
I have tried to get things to compile even make a hellow world program using the DGSDK but I get errors. So I need soem more tutorials or some links!..
I have isntalled the directx SDK (2006 version)
Just being frustraited.
