Mark, @tricky Can you elaborate about what is complicated, coordinates, resolution, etc. @flash This flash is what you would see with Win32 GDI graphics when a user would move a graphic at a low refresh rate. The transition is not smooth and the graphic is not drawn with smooth edges. Maybe a better...

Hello, We are looking into using Rev Studio to create good quality graphics (vector if possible) across multiple monitors. I noticed the animation engine plug in and I also noticed that Rev Studio 3.0 supports multiple monitors. Questions. (1) Several monitors may be different resolutions will that ...

Hey Guys,

I can't seem to get serial communications to work properly, does any one have a short sample?

I've been working with:

set the serialControlString
open file "COM1:"
write "data" to file

Any thoguhts?

Cheers!

Obleo thanks for the note.

Guys, what about 2D Graphics, graphs, charts, etc?

Cheers!

Mark,

Thanks for the update, much appreciated. For now all we want is joystick control so my thought is to wrap DirectInput in the Revolution SDK and create a simple DLL to read and or poll the current joystick position.

Regards,

Christian

Hey Guys, We have a 3D game engine used to create interactive games / simulations. With this 3D graphics engine (DirectX based) we get a handle to a Win32 window which then allows us to specify a window to render our 3D graphics in. Is it possible to use DirectX with Revolution? What about DirectInp...

Hi Mark, I'll give your code a try thank you very much. Yes the timing can be very tricky. When I first developed the motion control application four, five years ago setting up the Windows thread and high resolution timer was very difficult. It took several months of trial and error but we finally g...

Hi Mark, I appreciate the detailed response; it really does help give us a better understanding of Revolution. We sell electric motion bases, the kind of stuff you might see at a theme park. These bases are usually controlled by some type of 3D interactive computer simulation, could be a driving gam...

Mark, I appreciate the feedback; can you detail what you mean by the following? If you can include the entire procedure in an external, I'd recommend doing so. By using the word "external" are you recomending the Revolution SDK and incorporate into a Revolution script? In our current application we ...

Hey Guys,

I'm developing a real time application that needs accuracy to 1 millisecond or less.

Does your software provide accurate timing?

If the accuracy is not there I was considering using the Revolution SDK and incorporating the high resolution timers supplied by the Win32 API?

Thanks!

Hey Guys, I'm planing the process of converting my application over to Revolution. The original application was writen using C/C++, Win32 API and MS Visual Studio 7.1. (1) A couple sections of the software contain Win32 threads. We need to be able to change thread priorities, start and stop, etc. - ...
