Direct2d breakout

[BugCatcher]

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.

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.

doesnt work on any of my computers :(

win 10 home 64 bit, 70-80% cpu usage

looks nice so far and the menu works good

Fixed the window size problem. Now buttons light up when mouse hovers over them.

[BugCatcher]

Buttons now click. Quit button works

[zedd151]

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

Windows 64  Home edition

+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.
