DXGame Engine - Platform Game Demo [Zip+EXE]
Not a game at all, just a demo. We would really appreciate it if a few users could download the demo and report if it ran ok or not. We're just trying to get feedback if it runs better than a crawl. On our test machines we get 20-30fps but would like to see feedback from different configurations.
You'll need DirectX8, 3D card, Vb6 runtimes. I think most of us have that.
The source to the demo will be made available on our site.
Thanks for taking the time to check out the demo.

What a little corker, superb! Keep it up! Ran fine on my old laptop, 500mhz AMD K6-2 with onboard ATI Trident Cyberblade 7i (8mb) gfx card.

Re: DXGame Engine - Platform Game Demo [Zip+EXE]
The demo looks awesome in windowed mode. Had an issue with full screen. My monitor is an LCD monitor and runs over a DVI video cable in digital mode. This means, I'm quite limited in what screen resolutions are available to me. Specifically, 640x480 at 16bits per pixel at 60hz refresh rate provides me with a very professional looking "Out of range" message in four different languages.
Code:

10-09-2005 21:56:21 Description:
Unfortunatly, while windows xp pulled up the task manager to quit the program, I wasn't able to see it (wrong resolution for my monitor) and ended up have to turn off my computer.
My recommendation would be to enumerate supported resolutions and bit depths (and video cards for systems with more than one adapter) and present it all to the user in some sort of options window. If you need a good default resolution, use the one that is currently set and upsample the video to it (stretch 640x480 to fit an 800x600 display as an example). Due to my setup, however, certain resolutions are shown as supported, while, infact, they aren't.
After some testing, I discovered 640x480 @16bbp is available, but only at 75hz, not 72hz, or 60hz. You might want to take that into account as well.

Re: DXGame Engine - Platform Game Demo [Zip+EXE]
This was quite fun, the graphics were quite smooth, I had no problems starting it up and there wasn't a single bug. The DXGame Engine seems pretty good.

Re: DXGame Engine - Platform Game Demo [Zip+EXE]
Is the DXGame engine no longer being developed or supported?
I'm looking at a few different 2d engines for something I've got in mind, and this one looks interesting, but all of the sub-pages on the main website seem to have gone.
This means that I can't get hold of some decent tutorials and source code to see if it's what I'm looking for.
I've Emailed them, but I haven't heard back yet.
Any help appreciated,
Slim.
