I will soon, IF i get enough people interested in it, will set out to make a DirectX based program that will run on Yaroze code With as little changes as poss (if this is allowed) if not, I will make it as close as I 'Legally' can........ The problem at the moment, is the sheer amount of work it would take, and the severe limits to my time - especially trying to run Eclipse and entering the gameswire comp! but if I do get any offers of help, I would look at it! The code I am working on, will perform pretty much the same as the Yaroze, only better/easier/faster....and Yes I will be adding full 3D routines to the mix - eventually. I do have two builds of it so far, that do things like: Sets up all the DirectX7 routines, like surfaces/clippers ..etc, Uses DirectInput7 for keyboard--(soon to be controllers/rumbled -analogue ..etc) Display/move/scale sprites and the next one will introduce lots of new things, including BG routines! Also I've written Docs for it that explain all the functions and structures, as well as fully commenting the code............
