Hey, check out my tile demo... This is my first ever forray into gaming/demo creation. This is also my first C/C++ program.

TileDemo_b3.zip - 32.4k

This demo requires DirectX 7, and currently only runs in 800x600x16 mode, fullscreen.

I''d like to know what kind of performance you get with different configurations. Thanks for your time! =)

Excerpt from readme.txt:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------                                    Controls--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Arrow Keys - Move around

0, 1, & 2 - Toggle Lights on and off... ( 0 = ''moonlight'', 1 = ''torchlight'',
2 = ''lamp in the hole'')

F - Toggle Fill Mode (Flat, Wireframe, and Point)
D - Display FPS and viewer/focus(torch) location...
S - Toggle Shade Mode (Flat or Gouraud)
L - Toggle Lighting System (On or Off)
T - Toggle Torch Flicker

I get about 43 fps on my P3-450 with 64MB, Riva TNT 8MB. The only problem I have is that the landscape doesn''t move when I press the arrow keys, but the focus numbers do change. Is this supposed to happen?

31 fps on a P3-500 with 256MB RAM. Not sure about the 3D card installed.

The arrow keys don''t move the map... like Arjan said.

Also... I assume you did this with Direct3D, correct?

I''m very impressed with your lighting effects. It shouts out, "commercial quality" with every flicker. Nice work.

Thanks...

The map will move if you continue to walk... Basically, I don''t allow the viewpoint to see past the edge of the map...

It''s only a 50x50 tiles space, but if you get past 400, 400 you should be able to see the map move.

This was created in Direct3D...

61 fps exactly no fluctuations (Assuming that''s a computational error and it''s locking to my 60hz refresh rate) on my PIII 533Mhz machine w/ 128 mb of ram and a Voodoo3 3000 (16mb AGP)

Nice engine! It moved for me! I like the lighting effects!
