==============================================
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
These programs are provided as is with no warranties of any kind
and are provided without any obligation on Criterion Software Ltd.
Criterion Software Ltd. will not, under any circumstances, be liable for any
lost revenue or other damages arising from the use of these programs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contained in this directory are a set of subdirectories each containing a
RenderWare v1.4 demonstration program. Contained within the SRC directory
within these directories, find the demonstration program source.
How to run a demonstration
==========================
To run a demonstration program, first go into the directory containing the
demonstration you are interested in. There you will find an executable as well
as a .TXT file describing the demonstration. To start the demonstration type
the name of the executable and press return from the dos prompt.
For example to try the 'doscyber' demonstration type
C:\RWDOS\DEMO\SAMPLE>cd dosmaze
C:\RWDOS\DEMO\SAMPLE\DOSCYBER>doscyber
After a short wait the demonstration will start. To exit any of the
demonstrations press the 'ESC' key.
How to build a demonstration
============================
You must first have the Watcom C/C++ compiler v9.5 or better installed. To
make the demonstration enter the SRC (source) directory contained in the
demonstration directory you are interested in. For example for the 'doscyber'
demonstration type
C:\RWDOS\DEMO\SAMPLE>cd doscyber
C:\RWDOS\DEMO\SAMPLE\DOSCYBER>cd src
C:\RWDOS\DEMO\SAMPLE\DOSCYBER\SRC>
Once in the source directory you will find a '.mak' file which can be used
with the watcom 'wmake' utility. To build the execuatble type
wmake /f <DEMONAME>.mak
For example to build the doscyber executable type
C:\RWDOS\DEMO\SAMPLE\DOSCYBER\SRC>wmake /f doscyber.mak
The demonstration executable doscyber.exe will be created if this functions
correctly. The demonstration built will use the fixed point, register passing
library. To use another RenderWare v1.4 library you may change the flags at
the start of the makefile. Look at the RenderWare v1.4 documentation
for more details.
Demonstration Programs
======================
The following text gives a short summary of each demonstration. For a
more detailed description look at the '.txt' file in the respective
demonstration programs directory.
DOSVIEW
This sample application is a simple geometry viewer. It uses a single
RenderWare scene, camera and light for rendering purposes. The application
can, however, handle multiple clumps in the scene simultaneously. Each
clump can be spun and dragged individually. Clumps can be added to the
scene simply by clicking on the bottom line of the screen and typing in the
fie name of the clump you wich to load. Additionally, the camera can be
panned around and zoomed into or out of the scene and the light source moved.
DOSROLLER
DOSROLLE.EXE is a roller coaster simulator. In it you can watch a car moving
around a roller coaster from 4 different view points. Also you can create your
own roller coasters for the car to travel around.
DOSCYBER
In this game demonstration your mission is to destroy as many rats as
possible. To do this you must move around the street, and point your
gun so as a rat is within your sights, then fire the gun and destroy
the rat. You must destroy the rats as quickly as you can. When there are no
rats left the game is complete. The rats enter the game at a fixed speed,
so speed is of the essence.
