My first demo it's now *almost* finished, could you guys test it? :D

[Blacksheep8Bit]

Finally, after 2 weeks making the framework (which i will use in my future projects), 1 month making the music (STILL work in progress) and another 1 week making the code i finally finished my first demo, witch i call "My First try" (well, actually it's a work in progress demo, so, it's just a "3 scenes which the last one is a loop" kind of demo...)


Download:

when i actually finish it i will put it in pouet

So, could you guys test it please? i need to know what i've done wrong and what i should put to make it better
Thanks!

Done with: Visual c++ 2010, Opengl and MiniFmod lib.

The best part of it is definitely the music, but in all fairness you have some good things going on too - it works with ATI cards and the sync works   Just needs some more attention on the visuals but great effort for a firsty (I appreciate it's work in progress).

Runs fine here on win7 x64 with an Nvidia GTX 850. Looking really nice for a first release

Thank you help me testing it, and it's good to know you loved the tune, i still think there's something that i need to put in this music... i don't know, thanks

And why am i writing this at 5:00 am? Who knows? Better i go back to my studies, i have a history and chemistry test today D:

[benny!]

Runs fine here too 
Really well done for a firsite. Some improvement suggestions though:

- Camera flight is good, after the camera is on ground level it seems that it never goes "up" again. I would suggest that it goes "up" again.
- Sync works fine. I would recommend that the cubes doesnt fall back to "flat" mode that quick. Make them shrink down more gentle. Could look a bit smoother than.
- You could also play with some more colors e.g. on cubes (maybe giving it a more cracktro-ish style) - altough I somehow like the colorset it is, too.

Anyway, keep us informed about your progress. Well done so far! Keep it up!

hum nothing happends here... the program runs and close immediatly...  (win7 core i3 and hd graphics)

[KrazyK]

Same here, nothing happens.  Win7 x86, Dual core, Mobile Intel 4 gfx.

[Blacksheep8Bit]

Yeah, you need microsoft sdk to run it, fucking c runtimes dlls :/

hum... no way to make it run without?

I Am trying to figure this out, but it's kinda hard since math.h functions are provided in some of the Microsoft SDK dlls :/

You have the following options:

1. Tell your users to install the vcredist package.

2. In the project properties page under "C/C++", "Code Generation" set "Runtime" to the non-DLL version.
This makes your exe a couple of kilobytes bigger, though.

3. Link against the runtime library of vc++ 6.0 (all required dlls are already available with a default installion of windows).
You can find the lib here.

4. Implement all required functions on your own.

No run here! Shame 

[ttemper]

It works here. It's a great start to a demo indeed. Some more elements would be great, it needs a colour burst too imo. Add in a nice funky scroller, or some mapped graphics/textures etc etc. Music track was quite good too, I did notice its 'mono' though?, same samples run on both channels? I'd mix it up some.

Great start!

I had a similar problem when I first tried some stuff in C, and others couldn't run it.
As ever HellFire is bang on!. In Option 2 - you need to change it to 'Multi Threaded /MT' and in Debug to 'MultiThreaded Debug / MT'

Nifty start btw.
