Good start with gapi?

Postby RwGast » Sep 22, 2001 @ 3:42pm

Does anyone know of a good place online with FREE tutorials for GAPI, I dont really need a place that goes all into the art of game programming or anything i just want to know how to use it to draw fullscreen bitmaps and some other beginner type stuff.

Have you looked at the sample code that comes with it?  It's pretty good.<br><br>Jacco has some good stuff, but he tends to get into the nitty gritty of bits and bytes, so I wouldn't necessarily start there.

YES!  That is the one I was looking for.  It is ALMOST perfect.  Use it as a guide, but realize that it is a little cryptic.<br><br>I also found a few problems with it, but I can't remember what they were now...hmmm...

Glance through Jacco's EasyCE source once you've got a pretty good grip on the basics. He covers blitting his own 16-bit buffer to every device since the Philips Niño. Since you really ought to work that way for double-buffering purposes anyway, you might as well learn from someone who's already done the trick. The PQ source is also excellent and very versatile.
