Rendering in DXFramework is pretty simple, during the render phase you
call render on each of your sprites, the first ones you call render on
are drawn first and the later ones on top. There is no Z-buffering
mechanism. It's designed to be simple and geared for 2-D.

The back buffer can be set to clear each frame or it can be set to

Hello,

I have some interesting paper work to do about the way the DXFramework
renders frames.
More precisely, I have to explain how elements for displaying are
rendered:
- how the sequence of these elements for rendering is formed:
statically, dynamically... by which rule?
- are DXF renders all elements for each frame, or is used some

The world map code was written by a third party and is just an example
of what can be done with the engine. I'm sorry but I'm unable to
answer your questions about it because they involve implementation
details that I am not familiar with.

So me and a partner have been working on a game project for a while
now that's supposed to be a 2d-sidescrolling beat em up. We're having
some problems with the code, and we've been borrowing most of the code
from Worldmap sine it's exactly what we want pretty much. The code is
almost exactly the same except we get an aseertion error at the line

What version of python are you using? Use 2.6 if you can:

I haven't tried using dxframework with 2008 yet, there may be some
issues.

Trouble with creating a new project

2009-02-04T22:03:38Z

Hi, I decided to use the DXFramework for the game design class that
I'm taking to make a beat'um up type game and when trying to open the
new-project.py file to start a project the Python command line just
pops up for a second and then closes. Wondering what the problemo is
on that. Oh and I'm using Python 3.0 and Visual C++ Express 2008 if

What function are you making the Render2D call in? It needs to be in
GameState Render2D.

Howdy All. I'm trying to print text to the window but it doesn't ever
show up! In the debug console it keeps saying

D3DX: ID3DXSprite::Draw called outside a Begin/End pair

Any ideas? Here's my code for it.

I apologize for the delay in the response.
3D in DXFramework, while possible in theory, is essentially not supported
since 0.9.4. We decided that to focus on 2D games instead of 3D because
there are many other better 3D engines out there. 3D should work with the
latest versions of DXFramework but it hasn't been tested and I am not in a

Flickering

2007-02-03T02:18:49Z

Hi, I am loading 3d models into a small game I am creating using
dxframework. The models render fine but they flicker. I have cleared
the Z-buffer at the render loop and am not sure what the problem is.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Re: [dxframework] DirectShow Video cutscene with DXFramework ?

2007-01-30T15:09:21Z

I'm not sure what would be causing this. The good news is I know people have
used DirectShow with DXFramework before. You should be able to easily stop
DXFramework from rendering, like you said that could fix your problem.
Perhaps it is easy to create a method on the View class that sets a flag,
and test for that flag before proceeding with the Render function. I don't

DirectShow Video cutscene with DXFramework ?

2007-01-30T11:40:51Z

Hi,
I wish to integrate a video cutscene into a game built from
DXFramework. For now, I use DirectShow to play video clip. It seems
video is displayed along with the frames rendered by DXFramework.
Sometimes, a video is displayed on top and it looks perfect. But some
other times, i think the video is displayed behind the rendered frame,
