New Neighbors
So, I'm just sitting here, programming, minding my own business when I hear some sirens going off and some cops talking on loud speaker. So I look outside and these people driving a burgendy colored old car are the ones the cops are talking too. So those people park in their parking space, and 6 cops come out with their guns drawn. Wanna know who those people are? My new neighbors. I think my neighbors were arrested.
Vista Programming (Language/SDK)
Well, I've found an old SDK I made originally called "Hotaru 2D". It's basically a small game creation SDK like DBP but less featured. I was originally looking for it to test out a custom GUI I was going to make (
This one here) in C++. As I was looking at it though, I figured I'd like to test out some of the vista-only features of Windows Vista. So I got a nice feature working, which is for the entire window to be Aero-Glass based instead of just the caption.
I figured I'd make an interpreted language out of it as well, kind of like DBC. Here's a screenshot. And here's a demo app (C/C++):
#include "vpsdk.h"
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrev, LPSTR szCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
vInit(256, 256, 32, "Hello!", false, false);
DWORD myFont = vLoadFont("Courier New", 16);
while(vRunning())
{
vBeginScene(0x00000000, true);
vDrawBox(32, 32, vGetScreenWidth() - 32, vGetScreenHeight() - 32, 0x77ff0000, 0x7700ff00, 0x770000ff, 0x77ff00ff);
vDrawText(2, 2, "Hello World!", 0xff000000, myFont);
vEndScene();
}
}
As for the language, it'll resemble a BASIC dialect, hopefully something like:
myFont = LoadFont("Courier New", 16)
while Running()
BeginScene 0x00000000, true
DrawBox 32, 32, GetScreenWidth() - 32, GetScreenHeight() - 32, 0x77ff0000, 0x7700ff00, 0x770000ff, 0x77ff00ff
DrawText 2, 2, "Hello World!", 0xff00000000
EndScene
EndWhile

Note: I just wanted to combine what would otherwise be two threads into one to save space on the forums.
So, what do you guys think?
