General C\C++

IJL (JPEG) Package (Library and header files)

No image avaliable

Here you can download old Intel JPEG Library and header files require to load JPG files. Please extract DLL file to Windows\System32 directory. Oother (LIB and Header) files can be used by developers.

 

 

Hooking NtQuerySystemInformation (basic)

No image avaliable

This project implements a basic hooking of a function from NT Kernel (ntdll.dll) so that you process/window doesn't show in Task Manager Processes List. The hiding in Windows List is coming next with a program that doesn't use library/dll for hooking.

 

 

C++ (DirectX)

2D Map Editor in C++ (old)

No image avaliable

This project implements a simple 2D Map Editor in DirectDraw. You can select from variable number of tiles/animations/tile sets to set your tile on map. Please view README.txt inside the ZIP file.

Note: you can find this file on the PlanetSourceCode.

 

C++ (OpenGL)

OpenGL 2D/3D Tile Map Editor
(editor for "Get Medieval" clone)



This project implements a simple tile editor in OpenGL. You can select a tile from a dialog and click on any tile that should be assigned to the selected tile texture. Please note, that this example doesn't load images into a dialog, rather it loads them as the sequence of images (see ImageList for Windows C++). You can add your own tiles by putting them into the config file and into the dialog sequence image.

OpenGL GUI Project

This project implements a Graphical User Interface using OpenGL as a rendering base. Each element (simply a quad) can be textured and animated according to rules written in config file. Basically, you define each element as in Resource Editor for MSDEV, and program uses it to load all elements (buttons, static controls, progress bars, windows etc). You can find the latest source on SourceForge.net.


GUI Editor

 This project implements a GUI Editor. Using it, you can create magnificent GUIs with just a few clicks. It features centralized Texture, Material, Animation and Font managers, and adding those resources is just a few clicks away!
Editing widgets is also really simple thanks to the Properties Dialog, similar to the one in the Animation Editor (below). Add a border to the widget, and you don't have to use keyboard to resize it!
Align your widgets using toolbar buttons, or delete unnecesary widgets using Delete key.
It features a heavily documented source code, an HTML compiled Help File and a full source code is avaliable for you to download here!
For especially lazy people, it also features a full installation program!

 

Animation Editor

 This project implements an Animation Editor that can be used separately or with the GUI Editor (above). You can Drag & Drop your images right into the project and start creating your animation straight away. Specify frame animation times, name and filename, and you're all good to use it in your other projects after you've saved it!

 

C++ OpenGL Modules

Bezier Curve Module

This project implements a parametric bezier curve of ANY degree. Basically I used the general formula to figure out the final one. Please note that if the curve is too 'curvy', it might go out of hand - like the one on the picture. If you add 1- 2 points to the end to the curve on picture, it will go weird. But in all other aspects, that curve works really well as 3 or 4 points bezier curve.

 

Bezier Patch Module


This project implements a parametric patch (Bezier Spline Patch) by using a 2D array of control points. Its an alternative to OpenGL glMap2* and glMapGrid2*, but here you can get any point on the patch by specifying u and v values which vary from 0 to 1 inclusive.

 

Bezier Terrain Module

This project implements a terrain by utilizing bezier patches from module above. You have to load this project into Visual C++ and take a look for yourself because it would take too long to explain here how to use it. Basically, you have to specify number of patches per X and Y, width and height of template patch (all patches must be of the same size). Please note, that the map size (X and Y) must satisfy this formula:
(MAP_SIZE_X - 1) % (POINTS_PER_XPATCH) = 0
(MAP_SIZE_Y - 1) % (POINTS_PER_YPATCH) = 0

This project might prove useful by using Quadtree culling algorithm, where each patch will play the least leaf in the Quad tree entity.

 

Bitmap Font Module

 This project implements bitmap fonts just like Nehe's ones, except this one uses an OOP approach and easy to use save/load procedures.

 

Lens Flares Module

 This project implements lens flares by using given grayscale flare images and aligning them along the line View point -> light point as bill boarded quads colored by user' choice.

 

MD2 Module

 This project implements loading MD2 (proprietary of Quake 2 engine) animated model. It loads .md2 file, and animates it on given parameter of interpolation and frame tick (RUN, SHOOT, etc).

 

Particle Module & Editor

This project implements advanced particle system with its accompanied editor. You can specify a couple of dozen of parameters for the particle system, click Apply and viola! In editor, you can specify start/end color for particles and the variation color, frame limit, number of particles etc.

 

Milkshape Skeletal Animation Module
This project implements skeletal animation for Milkshape (.MS3D) models. Its a re-make from Real Soon Now from GameDev.net. I've re-made it to satisfy my current classes and programming approach.

 

Path Module
This project uses bezier curves and timer to animate path. You can assign your path as a number of linked curves (but they all assumed to be one whole path) and get a point at any time in the animation sequence. Please take a look at the code, since there's a lot of things to explain about this project.
