RenderWare(tm) v1.4 FCS 'Gift' Demonstration Programs
=====================================================
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
NOTE: These 'gift' demonstration programs were written for previous versions
of RenderWare. The source will function correctly with RenderWare v1.4 but
should not be considered as the 'correct' way to write RenderWare 1.4
applications. Well commented source code which uses RenderWare 1.4 features
can be found in the sample directory.
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 'maze' demonstration type
C:\RWDOS\DEMO\RWGIFTS>cd dosmaze
C:\RWDOS\DEMO\RWGIFTS\DOSMAZE>dosmaze
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 'knight'
demonstration type
C:\RWDOS\DEMO\RWGIFTS>cd dosknigh
C:\RWDOS\DEMO\RWGIFTS\DOSKNIGH>cd src
C:\RWDOS\DEMO\RWGIFTS\DOSKNIGH\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 dosknigh executable type
C:\RWDOS\DEMO\RWGIFTS\DOSKNIGH\SRC>wmake /f dosknigh.mak
The demonstration executable dosknigh.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. For more details look at the RenderWare v1.4
documentation.
Demonstration Programs
======================
The following text gives a short summary of each 'gift' demonstration. For a
more detailed description look at the '.txt' file in the respective
demonstration programs directory.
DOSROBOT
DOSROBOT.EXE demonstrates RenderWare's animation and hierarchical modeling
facilities. The application shows a scene containing a simple model of a
robot. The robot stands on a checkerboard floor which also
contains a box wrapped in gift paper. You can give an object to the
robot by clicking on one of the words "ball","torus","banana" or
"eggs". The object will drop onto the checker board floor. The robot will
decide whether it "likes" the dropped object. If it does, the robot will put
the object into its box. Otherwise it will throw the object away. The robot
remembers which objects it liked and which it did not.
DOSEXP
DOSEXP.EXE is a simple 'duck-shoot' game utilising some of RenderWares DOS
specific display handling. In particular it is designed to demonstrate the
creation of mouse pointer images.
DOSKNIGHT
DOSKNIGHT.EXE is a simple 3d fight simulator.
DOSMAZE
DOSMAZE.EXE demonstrates RenderWare rendering for a 'dungeon' type game.
DOSSIM
DOSSIM.EXE is a simple MS Dos application which performs an 'n-body'
simulation. The demonstration shows a 'room' in which several objects
collide with one another exchanging momentum. The objects are also under
the influence of a 'gravity' whose direction is the down vector
of the camera viewing the scene.
DOSTANK
DOSTANK.EXE is a simple 3d tank game. The tank you control is in a hostile
enemy environment. You must try to destroy as many enemy tanks as possible.
When the game starts it is in demo mode, the tanks in the game will fight
against one another automatically whilst the the view points are flipped
between.
DOSTUNNE
DOSTUNNE.EXE is a simple 3d 'shoot-em up' game for the MS-Dos environment. In
the 'game' you travel down a tunnel, and shoot objects as they fly towards
you. You can change your point of view, simply my moving the mouse. To shoot
an object, place the mouse cursor over the object - it will change shape when
you may fire.
