You use a dll by calling the functions inside of it after loading it into memory



Sparky's dll is a dll that has functions to cast rays and to detect if the rays pass through a 3d object(s). It uses ray casting for collision detection. Very good for line of sight and bullets. Effective but not great for body to body collision.

Sparky's DLL

Enjoy your day.

What I did was use the functions, not call the dll directly. Attached is "sparky.dba". If you want to use the collision dll, put this at the start of your code:



Then call the functions you need, but not the dll directly:



There is a list of the functions in the zip download of sparky's.
