- The TDx_Draw_Library v1.80 - Advanced 2D Graphics - Blindingly-Fast Multi-Monitor Bit-Blitting, Palettes, etc.
- Start with this library, the TDx_Draw_Library.... download the relevant examples...
Add some startlingly clear and efficient 2-dimensional graphics using any .BMP file,
or add your own image creation algorithms, hundreds and hundreds of full-screen or part-screen frames per second,
thousands of images being bit-blitted simultaneously, all the 2d graphics you will ever need
to create any kind of application that needs full-on graphics capabilities...
Add some fancy 2d animation capabilities, such as bit-blitting effects,
and some color manipulation...
Then make your advanced 2d graphics go multi-monitor...
Add some streaming video from your cameras, and off you go... - Try this :- imagine a full-screen image or an image greater than the screen,
full 32 Bit color, seriously big limit to size, maybe even 8 offscreen images 10,000 x 10,000 pixels big,
splashing in real-time across any or all of your monitors... - View more information about the TDx_Draw_Library...
- The TDx_Sound_Library v1.80 - Advanced Sound + Music - 2D + 3D Sound and Music and Recording, etc.
- You really have to try this library, the TDx_Sound_Library.... download the relevant examples...
It's supremely clear music compared to Mp3, you can download some new .wav's for fx and music (note: they ?maybe? are copyright),
create your own full-fidelity sounds, massive harmonies, full sound fx, etc. - Try this :- imagine a 44Khz, 16/32 Bit, no limit to time-length, etc, call it a sound or music track,
maybe 8 independant music tracks playing simultaneously, with multiple sound effects at the same time
as all the channels of music, possibly hundreds of sound effects as well as all the music, all playing together? - Imagine :- you setup a 2-second looped buffer for recording sound at 44Khz, 16/32 Bit, no limit to time-length, etc,
you save it to disk, or manipulate it in realtime, then play it back... what if you made your recording's gurgle from your speakers? - View more information about the TDx_Sound_Library...
- The TDx_Input_Library v1.80 - Advanced Input Devices - 5-Button Mouse, Force Feedback Joysticks, Yokes, Steering Wheels, etc.
- Do you need simulaneous (multi) keyboard, mouse, joystick, steering wheels, etc... control?
Try the TDx_Input_Library.... download the relevant examples...
If you have the hardware, you can use it all simultaneously, multiple keyboards, multiple mouses,
multiple joysticks, steering wheels, yokes, whatever... - Imagine :- you locate all your physical input devices on the computer, such as finding all keyboards,
all mice (mouses), all joysticks, yokes, steering wheels, etc... then you find out exactly which of all
buttons are currently being pressed or released, while simultaneously making these devices shake, rattle and roll
by programming their force-feedback hardware responses with various special fx... - View more information about the TDx_Input_Library...
- The TDx_Play_Library v1.80 - Advanced Networking - Multiplayer Networking, Internet, Modem, LAN, etc.
- Do you need real-time multi-user communications over the internet, LAN, modem or direct cable?
Try the TDx_Play_Library.... download the relevant examples...
You can setup massive distributed networking applications using this library, or you
can setup small peer-to-peer applications, whatever you need that requires multiuser support... - Imagine :- Multiple applications running concurrently, both client and server, using distributed or standalone
processing, all communicating simply and effectively using various simplified programming code...
Games, Chat programs, Peer-To-Peer, Client-Server, Distributed Clients, etc... - View more information about the TDx_Play_Library...
- The TDx_3DI_Library v1.80 - Advanced 3D Graphics - Realtime Rendered 3D Graphics, etc.
- Do you need to add low-level 3d graphics support to your application?
Try the TDx_3DI_Library.... download the relevant examples...
Using this library, you create a software interface to the Direct3D graphics hardware...
Then you setup your 3d world, camera angles or viewport, vertex buffers (3d image data),
transformations, shadings, texture mappings, etc.
Then simply tell the 3d low-level engine to render it, and it happens...
Fairly simple really. - Note :- I do not yet know a huge amount about 3d graphics programming
and would really like some help to create LOTS of 3d examples... - View more information about the TDx_3DI_Library...

i am currently finishing off the TDx_Library v1.90++
ready for more demos, tutorials, and it's first ever release... but it takes time...
...
Every day, people download my quality software (the TDx_Library) for FREE...
Sofar, over 14,000 people have downloaded my software for FREE.
...
So, I started this software development (the TDx_Library) more than 12 years ago,
and worked 120 hours per week for the first 7 years,
struggling through literally thousands of reboots, patching the DirectX 7 SDK,
upgrading through C++ Builder v1 to C++ Builder v6... and so on...
all because i was getting paid through registrations of my software.
Then people stopped registering, and i worked for 60 hours a week for the next 4 years for no money...
Then i stopped developing full-time, and went to only a few hours per week,
with people downloading literally thousands of copies of my software, but still no registrations.
During these years, I released multiple versions of my software, starting from v1.00, all with free upgrades,
free demos, free installer, free tutorials, free reference, free forums, and so on...
Sofar, v1.00, v1.01, v1.02, v1.10, v1.20, v1.30, v1.40, v1.41, v1.42, v1.50, v1.51, v1.52,
v1.60, v1.61, v1.62, v1.70 and v1.80 have been developed and released...
Of these, the most popular versions are still available for download :-
v1.42, v1.62, v1.70, v1.80 are FREE TO DOWNLOAD AND USE...
that is :- the components, source code, help files, project files, auto-install, demos, tutorials, reference, etc...
The auto-install that comes with the libraries only works on XP or less...
However, all versions can be manually installed on Windows Vista or 7 pc's. PACKIT
Most recently, .... and, it has taken more than 12 years to create...
i am currently in the process of releasing the TDx_Library v1.90...
Nearly all my time is now spent creating and updating all the demos and tutorials and the website...
...
Meantime, could some of the 14,000+ people who have downloaded my software for FREE please
think about Registering their software, as is legal,
and please give me some funding so i can work more on this website and software...
My software is extremely cheap, less than US$1 per C++ Builder component, completely working,
as far as i can tell 100% bug-free, completely and utterly documented, with many demos already
and many more demos and tutorials to come...
And the download is about 20 Megabytes of mostly source code and help files...
...
Now, this is the stupid and unfair part :-
After 12 years, over 14,000+ people have downloaded my software for FREE, yet only 200 people
have ever paid the registration fee and used my software legally.
That is, over US$2,800,000 in registration fees have NOT been paid by people who should
know that they must use LEGAL development tools... No More PIRACY...
Unfortunately, when 14,000 people do not pay for their software, this project is almost bankrupt,
and there is not enough money to fund further development of this incredible software.
...
All you see, you see because 200 people paid for their incredible software, and funded it's development.
These people registered a long time ago, and there have been incredibly few registrations over the past 5 years...
less than US$1000 from registrations... for 5 long years of development...
With only one registration for US$35 in the past year total.
At the same time, during the past year, over 1000 copies of my software have been downloaded...
This is unfair, and if i cannot earn money, there is no point developing new software...
I'll repeat :-
During the life of this project, over US$2,800,000 of my software has been PIRATED.
Last year, over US$200,000 of my software was downloaded... and PIRATED...
And I earned a total of US$35 for an entire past year of work,
all while 1000+ copies of my software have been downloaded.
This is money that could have gone into development of the TDx_Library and new software...
This is money that could have hired some staff, setup a small business, and funded development...
This is money that could have paid for some new hardware, some more versions of C++ Builder compilers...
This is money that could have actually paid for the 12+ years of voluntary work that have gone into this project...
...
So,
You get what you pay for, if you would like more software, then please register now.
"I CANNOT WORK ON ALL THIS FOR NOTHING"
Please Register...
Each time someone Registers my software, i get some money and can spend some time
working on improving the TDx_Library, the BCB_Code_Generator, the demos, tutorials, reference and the website.
Each time someone registers a complete library, i can work for an entire week on new software...
Please join the 200 people who have registered, and please use my software legally.
...
Imagine what would happen if people actually paid for their software,
and imagine what would happen if some of the 14,000+ people actually registered.
Maybe::: new upgrades of my software, new demos, new tutorials, new applications?
...
Thank You
Keep BCB-Tools.com growing... please donate US$50 or more...
-= Imagine This =-
...
If you are one of those 14,000 people who have PIRATED my software,
just imagine what life would be like if i had not developed it at all.
...
-: v1.90 :-
This version contains extra code to handle DirectX exceptions, etc...
to make life a little easier for all TDx programmers...
This version will be made available to Registered Users and TDx developers only...
Are you an experienced C++ developer?
BCB-Tools.com needs your help to build the best routines to add to our core
graphics, sound, input device and networking support...
Become a TDx_Library co-developer today, and help us help each other by developing
this library, adding additional functionality to make it more and more powerful
each future release...
I can do most of the hard work, but i need some extra hands on board to add more features...
Hope to hear from you soon,

Hint: If you are having problems either installing the TDx_Library v1.80 or using the TDx_Library,
you may need to actually compile the component libraries after the installation package has completed,
before you can actually compile the demos.
Hint: For v1.80, you will need dinput1.lib and dinput2.lib,
place them in C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder#\Lib\*.*
Hint: you may need for BCB# -
BCB1: TDx_Library_Defns.obj and TDx_Library_Functions.obj
BCB3: TDx_Library_Defns.obj and TDx_Library_Functions.obj
BCB4: TDx_Library_Defns.obj and TDx_Library_Functions.obj
BCB5: TDx_Library_Defns.obj and TDx_Library_Functions.obj
BCB6: TDx_Library_Defns.obj and TDx_Library_Functions.obj
place them in C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder\Lib\*.*
Vista, 7: The Microsoft Dx7 SDK Install does not work on Vista and 7, neither does the TDx_Library_Install_v180.exe
(v1.90 - coming release May/June 2010 has an installer that works with Vista and 7).
Vista, 7: You can download the DirectX SDK files as a .zip file, and unzip them for Vista and 7 from the Downloads Page.

using a combination of the TDx_Library v1.90, C++ Builder v1..v6 (maybe 2006/2007), and DirectX for Windows 95,98,ME,CE,NT,2000,XP,Vista,7...
:)
Want to learn how to write computer games?
Email me and let me know you'd be interested
in learning how to create games...
here is some numbers for you to crunch :-
one game, one application, 10,000-100,000 players per session...
players pay $1-$10 per month, which will fund further development.
two games, two applications, most of the stuff written during the first game....
three games...
four games...
etc.
think about it.... 6-12 months per game on development.
i'm ready to start this soon
the TDx_Library v1.90 is working, getting closer to eventual release
then it's a game-writing-frenzy...
:)

writing and upgrading my custom 11-year-old development toolsets?
Email me and let me know you'd be interested
in joining me, darren, writing game and application development tools for a living...
i'm planning on this :-
the games i write, you download them, they work, standalone, over the LAN,
over the internet (multiplayer - 10-100,000 players in each game), or on modem
you sell the game in the shops
you sell the game online
one website per game, with another website of multiple games
each game auto-connects to the rest of the gamers
with chatrooms, etc.
talk while you play the game, even have video / cam during the game
amazing gameplay
amazing depth of gameplay
amazing graphics, with heaps of GFX
amazing sounds, with heaps of SFX
amazing music
amazing input devices
amazing multiplayer
2d + even 3d games!!!
Lots and lots and lots of MMORPG and MMORTS games... even MMOFPS and MMOARCADE games...
the TDx_Library is changing... evolving... morphing... v1.90++ coming very soon...
the TDx_Library is undergoing some serious modifications prior to the release of v1.90...
most importantly, Vista and 7 compatibility...
// a simple demo, this is what the following code does :-
void __fastcall TMainForm::Button1Click()
{
// initialize the TDx_Library
TDx_Initialize();
// setup demo
TDx_Sprite* helicopter_sprite = createSprite( "C:\\MyGame\\Images\\helicopter.spr" );
TDx_SoundFX* helicopter_sound = createSoundFX( "C:\\MyGame\\Sounds\\helicopter.snd" );
TDx_SoundFX* bang_sound = createSoundFX( "C:\\MyGame\\Sounds\\bang.snd" );
helicopter_sprite->setPosition( grMaxX/2, grMaxY/2 );
helicopter_sprite->setAutoMovement( -1, -1 );
// start demo here, clear the screen, get setup for auto-animation, make some noise, etc...
playSoundFX( "C:\\MyGame\\Sounds\\red_alert.snd" );
playBackgroundMusic( "C:\\MyGame\\Music\\background_music_1.mus" );
// display the intro
fadeInText( 100, 0, "Helicopter Demo" );
waitOneSecond();
fadeInText( 100, 200, "...wait..." );
waitOneSecond();
fadeOutText( 100, 200, "...wait..." );
// display a helicopter, and make a noise
helicopter_sprite->playSprite( "fadein" );
helicopter_sound->playSound( "repeat" );
waitOneSecond();
// wait for it to move to the extreme top or extreme left of the screen
while (helicopter->isMoving() &&
helicopter->X > 0 &&
helicopter->Y > 0)
// while we are doing anything else
DoSomethingElse();
// okay, it hit the top of the screen or the left of the screen, make a BANG
bang_sound->playSound( "wait" );
// finished, don't forget to say goodbye
waitOneSecond();
say( "goodbye" );
}
// that's all you gotta do...
--- Cool huh?
