- This program demonstrates how to create the snow effect from within VB. Visual Basic is easily
- capable of producing this effect as long as you keep the flakes array right down to around about
- 100 items...
-
- The snow effect is a cool one for Christmas games which have text on screen with a plain
- background. It drops pixels from the top of the screen down to the bottom of the screen.
-
- Just init the class and make the call just like in the example application and you're laughing!
-
- A screen shot is included with this package.
-
- I admit I cheated a little - I used Win32.tlb and DirectX.tlb (They only list function decs so I
- don't have to type them out every single time!). You can get them both from www.chez.com/scribe/
-
- I DID NOT MAKE THIS DIRECTDRAW SPECIFIC!!! I just use DDraw to change the resolution. You can
- EASILY port this code to work on any resolution you want. Just thought it seemed fancier with
- DirectDraw support... :)
-
- Enjoy some!
