Title: WinBGI example
Xception - June 27, 2003 02:50 PM (GMT)
A small example: controlling a ball with the cursor keys using the winbgi library which comes with Dev-C++ (or must be downloaded and installed seperately?)
I compiled as Win32 Gui project, but Console project works also.
Who said C++ would be difficult?
| CODE |
#define isKey(k) GetAsyncKeyState(k)
#include <winbgim.h>
int x,y; // position of ball
int main()
{
initwindow(640,480); //open a 640x480 graphics window
do // loop
{
setvisualpage(1); // double
setactivepage(0); // buffer
clearviewport(); // clear background
if (isKey(VK_LEFT)) x-=2; // check for cursor keys and move ball
if (isKey(VK_RIGHT)) x+=2;
if (isKey(VK_UP)) y-=2;
if (isKey(VK_DOWN)) y+=2;
fillellipse(x+120,y+120,18,18); // draw ball
delay(10); // delay
}
while(!isKey(VK_ESCAPE)); // until Escape key pressed
closegraph(); //close graphics window
return 0;
}

I have an older version of Dev-C++ and I thought the WinBGI library was now in the package as default. I used the update tool of Dev-C++ and installed this library yesterday. It's easy to use and you don't have to know anything about Windows programming, you open a new window with only one function. Maybe we could make a small game competition using this library?

I'm updating now. Is it that easy to use? I sure am glad we have you around here Xception.
--EDIT--
I can't get that stupid vUpdate to work. :(

Where can I get the library?

Very easy, look at my code. But it's only a wrapper around the Windows GDI, so don't expect a powerful graphics engine. But if you don't know how to write Win32 Gui programs or if you too lazy then you can easily create them with this library.

I finally got it to work :)
I'm gonna play around with this for a while. Thanks Xception ^_^
