Hi all, hi Arvin,


That's an impressive piece of work. I downloaded it and studied it to see what is possible for a game I'm trying to build. That's a nice DX tutorial for so many things...

www.Protonics.tk is not down. Please use Internet Explorer 6. My website doesnt work in Firefox and Netscape because I used VBScript (my mistake) instead of JavaScript. BTW, it is titled, TradePoint. As for the DX references, use DX9c and read the readme on how to copy the DX DLLs to your GAC folder.
