No DirectX - How To ?

Hi all.

I've red that BlitzPlus can run also on NT, in other words, it does not need DX7 to run.

I wonder, should I set something in my source code, to have this compatibility ?

I mean, if I compile a 2D game with B+, will it run also on an NT system, or should I use some particolar setting inside the source code to obtain this ?

As far as I have understood, I can choose between:
- Native driver (no DX)
- Open GL driver
- DX1

Should I use an appropriate command to obtain this ? And how can I use the standard DirectDraw DX7 driver ?

More, how can I know that the prog is running on a XP or on a NT system, in order to choose the right DX driver ?

Thanks,
Sergio.

Normal DX mode should run fine on NT (an even on Win95).

You can offer OpenGL or Native as options, but they are kindof experimental IMO.

Just code your 2D game as normal. The OpenGL/Native modes are pretty experimental at the moment, so just ignore them for now. Blitz+ uses DX1 (never uses DX7 and there's nothing missing as a result) and so your game will run on NT4 as well as all the others -- you don't have to do anything special.

Thanks very much.

Sergio.
