How to compile the source?

[real]

Hi,

I just bought BlitzMax to enhance Yoda Soccer. I want to add network support (but until today I only have experiences in programming C, not Basic).

I downloaded the source code of Yoda and compiled it. The created .exe is running smooth, but if I start a game I have massive problems with the graphics. The downloadable version of Yoda is running okay.

My questions:
1. Do I have to pay attention to anythink to compile the source?
2. What graphics subsystem (DX/GL) is supported by the source?

Hi real and welcome.
Well, it depends on the platform. In windows you can use DX or GL, simply comment/uncomment the line:

'SetGraphicsDriver GLMax2DDriver() 'windows version only

in main.bmx.

Hi Massimo,

first I want to get a recompiled version of yoda run, then I will try to enhance it (and share the code with you, of course).
But: The speed of my own re-compiled version is very sluggy (compared with the downloadable .exe). Could you give me a clue why?

Ok, let's start again...

1. Do I have to pay attention to anythink to compile the source?

No, nothing in particular.

But remember to update your blitzmax to v1.10 and syncronize modules.

2. What graphics subsystem (DX/GL) is supported by the source?

In windows you can use DX or GL, simply comment/uncomment the line:

'SetGraphicsDriver GLMax2DDriver() 'windows version only

in main.bmx. DirectX should perform better.

Of course, I understood.

When do you plan to offer the re-coded source for the new Blitzmax version?

Re-coded source? I don't understand, do I miss something?

There is a new version of BlitzMax out, V1.12. There are many changes in the new version: FlushMem, MemAlloced(), MemUsage() has gone etc...

I didn't know, thanks.
I'll test BMax 1.12 and if everything goes well, I'll use it for the next beta.
