Hey dudes. Believe it or not, I've done the little project I set out to do (Re: [HPX-dev] Something to do). I know everyone's totally forgotten this HPX thing but heck this is beginning of session and there isn't much to do so I thought I'd give it a try-- and took me 2 days or so to do but I've done it. All it does is switch your video mode to 640x480 with 16 bit colour and then blanks the screen. Pressing esc will quit and return to your normal video mode. I used C with the OpenGL and GLUT (the OpenGL utility toolkit), along with the (ack) Micro$oft Visual C++ compiler. I will probably try to port the GLUT library to Borland format later. The code should also work on the different flavours of Unix if you have an OpenGL implementation and GLUT installed. Anyway I've attached all the files you'll need to start coding except that you'll probably need the Visual C/C++ compiler as well as OpenGL installed. OpenGL should already be installed in all but the oldest Win95 systems. The files are as follows: - chmode.exe win32 binary of my little program - chmode.c my source - glut32.lib place this in your %VC%\lib directory (%VC% = visual c++ dir) - glut.h place this in your %VC%\include\GL directory - glut32.dll place this in your %WIN%\system directory (%WIN% = windows dir) If you're not interested in coding at all then you can just put glut32.dll in your system directory, and then run chmode.exe to check it out. That's it. Tell me if you guys are still interested in this thing. Aq@home |

Hey I almost thought this thing had died :P oh well Anyway, this sounds good... once I sort things out, i'll try and learn C. But then again... sorting things out could take a while... sad...
