Title: Direct2d breakout
Post by: BugCatcher on May 18, 2018, 02:38:10 AM
Decided to have some fun with direct2d. Ive started a 2d game engine and so far Ive got some objects and a menue. Pressing the esc key toggles the menue in and out. I'd be curious if it works on windows xp as I don't have that os anymore.

My ide is radAsm 3.0.0.c and artwork with inkscape. Os is windows 7

On XP SP3, it says D2D1.dll not found:(

On Win7-64, it shows red squares but CPU usage goes over the top - did you forget the message pump?

In my W7 looks nice, but a bit huge and 25% CPU consuming. Did you use the Siekmanski d2d example?

No, its all my own stuff.

  .WHILE TRUE
invoke PeekMessage, ADDR msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE
.if (eax != 0)
;===================================
; Break if it was the quit messge
;===================================
mov eax, msg.message
.IF eax == WM_QUIT
;======================
; Break out
;======================
jmp shutdown
.endif

;===================================
; Translate and Dispatch the message
;===================================
invoke TranslateMessage, ADDR msg
invoke DispatchMessage, ADDR msg
.endif

invoke OnRender
invoke UpdateMenue
invoke UpdateObjects

.ENDW


I am flipping the screen 34 times a second. Painting the background and all objects.

Windows doesn't work like that. Use GetMessage instead of PeekMessage...

PeekMessage is normal for games. I'd definitely not recommend GetMessage, end user will get all sorts of weird stalls.

The new 3 state buttons look good, cpu usage is down to 45-46%  a step in the right direction.    :t

+1 with Ascended: games usually use Peekmessage

Nice menu man!!!!!!! Classy stuff

win10. CPU at about 18%.

As soon as you sleep the game loop, CPU goes down to a nice %.

OS win 8.1

When I click on start, the button flashes but nothing happens.
Or am I doing something wrong?

Just the quit button works for now. I'm working on a high scores screen right now.

Updated mouse coordinates on screen resize.
There is a scores screen. -No text yet.
There is a Start game.

Tried to use mouse messages for the paddle,way too herkie jerkie. So I translated DirectInput8,and now the paddle is very smooth and fast.

Need .686 directive for floating point. (?)

Next is the dreaded collision detection. -Gulp                                   -

Hi BugCatcher.
This looks awesome. I can't wait till it's complete.

Collision detection is finished. Small bug in paddle,no big thing. Bricks light up.

Next is some specialized bricks for more fun.
Finish high score screen.
