From now on, www.BCB-Tools.com is going to focus on the following areas of programming :- we are going to create massive multiplayer online role playing and realtime strategy games..... some free, some pay-per-play... here is some numbers for you to crunch :- one game, one application, 10-100,000 players per session... players pay $1-$10 per month, which will fund further development. two games, two applications, most of the stuff written during the first game.... 10-100,000 players per session. three games... four games... etc. think about it.... 6-12 months per game on development. i'm ready to start this soon the TDx_Library v1.90 is working, almost ready to release then it's a game-writing-frenzy... :) Want to join me, darren, the author of this website, writing games?

But, now, instead of having to write all the code, just to get your applications working... Now, using the TDx_Extra's library, you write code like this :- // a simple demo, this is what the following code does :- the screen fades to black the computer says "Red Alert, we have online visitors onboard"... the computer starts playing background music... some text fades in on the screen more text fades in on the screen some text fades out off the screen a helicopter is displayed on the screen the helicopter starts making a noise the helicopter starts moving up/left it hits the edge of the screen the computer says "Bang" the computer waits a little bit, says "Goodbye" void __fastcall TMainForm::Button1Click() { // setup demo TDx_Sprite* helicopter_sprite = createSprite( "C:\\MyGame\\Images\\helicopter.spr" ); TDx_SoundFX* helicopter_sound = createSoundFX( "C:\\MyGame\\Sounds\\helicopter.snd" ); TDx_SoundFX* bang_sound = createSoundFX( "C:\\MyGame\\Sounds\\bang.snd" ); helicopter_sprite->setPosition( grMaxX/2, grMaxY/2 ); helicopter_sprite->setAutoMovement( -1, -1 ); // start demo here, clear the screen, get setup for auto-animation, make some noise, etc... createPrimarySurface(); createBackBuffer(); playSoundFX( "C:\\MyGame\\Sounds\\red_alert.snd" ); playBackgroundMusic( "C:\\MyGame\\Music\\background_music_1.mus" ); // display the intro fadeInText( 100, 0, "Helicopter Demo" ); waitOneSecond(); fadeInText( 100, 200, "...wait..." ); waitOneSecond(); fadeOutText( 100, 200, "...wait..." ); // display a helicopter, and make a noise helicopter_sprite->playSprite( "fadein" ); helicopter_sound->playSound( "repeat" ); waitOneSecond(); // wait for it to move to the extreme top or extreme left of the screen while (helicopter->isMoving() &&     helicopter->X > 0 &&     helicopter->Y > 0)         // while we are doing anything else         DoSomethingElse(); // okay, it hit the top of the screen or the left of the screen, make a BANG bang_sound->playSound( "wait" ); // finished, don't forget to say goodbye waitOneSecond(); say( "goodbye" ); } // that's all you gotta do... --- Cool huh? -= Create Your Own Game Or Application :- Introducing... the TDx_Library v1.80...

(20th April 2009) Hint: If you are having problems either installing the TDx_Library v1.80 or using the TDx_Library, you may need to actually compile the component libraries after the installation package has completed, before you can actually compile the demos. Hint: For v1.80, you will need dinput1.lib and dinput2.lib, place them in C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder#\Lib\*.* Hint: you may need for BCB# - BCB1: TDx_Library_Defns.obj and TDx_Library_Functions.obj BCB3: TDx_Library_Defns.obj and TDx_Library_Functions.obj BCB4: TDx_Library_Defns.obj and TDx_Library_Functions.obj BCB5: TDx_Library_Defns.obj and TDx_Library_Functions.obj BCB6: TDx_Library_Defns.obj and TDx_Library_Functions.obj place them in C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder\Lib\*.* Vista: The Microsoft Dx7 SDK Install does not work on Vista, neither does the TDx_Library_Install_v180.exe (v1.90 - coming release May/June 2009 has an installer that works with Vista). Vista: You can download the DirectX SDK files as a .zip file, and unzip them for Vista from the Downloads Page. Keep BCB-Tools.com growing... please donate US$50 or more...

The TDx_Draw_Library v1.80 - Advanced 2D Graphics - Blindingly-Fast Multi-Monitor Bit-Blitting, Palettes, etc. Start with this library, the TDx_Draw_Library.... download the relevant examples... Add some startlingly clear and efficient 2-dimensional graphics using any .BMP file, or add your own image creation algorithms, hundreds and hundreds of full-screen or part-screen frames per second, thousands of images being bit-blitted simultaneously, all the 2d graphics you will ever need to create any kind of application that needs full-on graphics capabilities... Add some fancy 2d animation capabilities, such as bit-blitting effects, and some color manipulation... Then make your advanced 2d graphics go multi-monitor... Add some streaming video from your cameras, and off you go... Try this :- imagine a full-screen image or an image greater than the screen, full 32 Bit color, seriously big limit to size, maybe even 8 offscreen images 100,000 x 100,000 pixels big, splashing in real-time across any or all of your monitors...

It's supremely clear music compared to Mp3, you can download some new .wav's for fx and music (note: they ?maybe? are copyright), create your own full-fidelity sounds, massive harmonies, full sound fx, etc. Try this :- imagine a 44Khz, 16/32 Bit, no limit to time-length, etc, call it a sound or music track, maybe 8 independant music tracks playing simultaneously, with multiple sound effects at the same time as all the channels of music, possibly hundreds of sound effects as well as all the music, all playing together? Imagine :- you setup a 2-second looped buffer for recording sound at 44Khz, 16/32 Bit, no limit to time-length, etc, you save it to disk, or manipulate it in realtime, then play it back... what if you made your recording's gurgle from your speakers?
