Here's my main (BPM analyze.c): [CODE=C]#include "stdafx.h" #include "common.h" #include "sound.h" #include "wave.h" int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { SAMPLE samples[2]; unsigned int i, j; …

My application creates a window in the main thread, but I want the message loop in a separate thread. Is there any way to catch the messages from that window while an another thread? I tried giving GetMessage that window's handle, it didn't work. I could just create the window …

I am making a blitting call on my backbuffer: [CODE=C++] BOOL drawImage(IMAGE *lpImage, LONG x, LONG y) { RECT rect; rect.left = x; rect.top = y; rect.right = x + lpImage->lWidth; rect.bottom = y + lpImage->lHeight; dwVideoErrCode = lpBack->Blt(&rect, lpImage->lpSurface, NULL, DDBLT_WAIT | DDBLT_KEYSRC, NULL); if(dwVideoErrCode != DD_OK) { MessageBox(NULL, …

I am using DirectDraw to make a game and I am running it in 8-bit color mode. What I am having a problem with is making a macro to convert RGB values into a single 8-bit color. Here is the macro: [CODE=c++] #define RGB_8BIT(r, g, b) ((r & 224) + …
