See whenever you use "messing around" I tend to think, like ICT, that you have spent DAYS upon DAYS starring at your computer working in DX8\. But that may just be me.

I only started programming this a few hours ago. >_>;

The slide in/out code and fade in/out code is just a few dozen lines.

```
            If tmr20 + 20 < .Tick Then

                'Shader
                If FadeDirection = 0 Then 'Fade in
                    If CurrentFade > 0 Then
                        CurrentFade = CurrentFade - 3
                    Else
                        FadeDirection = 2
                    End If
                ElseIf FadeDirection = 1 Then 'Fade Out
                    If CurrentFade < 255 Then
                        CurrentFade = CurrentFade + 3
                    Else
                        FadeDirection = 2
                    End If
                End If

                'Panorama
                If PanoramaX > 0 Then
                    PanoramaX = PanoramaX - 1
                Else
                    PanoramaX = 640
                End If

                'Logo slide in
                If logoTop < 40 Then
                    logoTop = logoTop + 5
                End If

                'Foreground slide in
                If foregroundTop > 50 Then
                    foregroundTop = foregroundTop - 5
                End If
                tmr20 = .Tick
            End If
```

Okay, I still see you hunched over at your computer coding. The only way to prove my point is for you to Hypercam your computer as you re-code this program. I challenge you goods sir.

The DirectX8 class I use was programmed a good year ago. The actual project is just doing an early bind of that, loading up a form, and doing a basic loop with some rendering and that code I posted. xD

Added some basic player movement.

Check it out. Once on the logo screen, click anywhere to fade out into the actual game environment.

Unfortunately no he is just that quick :P
I was on MSN with him as he was programming it :P

[emblem]

Nice, now I wanna try making something constructive using my Dx8 code base. >_>

XD. Nice though.

I get 112\. My computer sucks.

I only just created this earlier today.. I have a lot of work I can do on it.

You can't tell me you're running Linux without a dual boot. :P

Im just acting stupid by running with wine. D3D/non-gcc applications fail horrendously with wine.
