<P>where? I'm using version 4, is there a text file about directx with the new version?</P>
<P>if you're referring to the text with the new directx files from gamecoding, I've seen that but I'm wondering if there's anything else I need to add?<BR><BR></P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>&gt; if so what do you have to link? I'm using directX 8 and have the new dev files from gamecoding.co.uk, what libraries do I add in project options? I use libddraw.a as well as the 4 that are in the readme text file (together), are there any others?

<P>Here is the problem - I'm using the tutorial here ( <A href="http://www.wksoftware.com/publications/d3dim.html">http://www.wksoftware.com/publications/d3dim.html</A>&nbsp;) to create a 3D triangle that spins. The problem I have is this... I am getting errors that tell me that "struct IDirect3D has no member named lpVtbl". I am 100% sure this is because in C++ you pass a REFERENCE to a GUID to IDirectDraw::QueryInterface. For example:</P>
<P>C code:</P><PRE>// pass address of IID_IDirect3D to QueryInterface
lpDD-&gt;lpVtbl-&gt;QueryInterface( lpDD, &amp;IID_IDirect3D, ( LPVOID * ) &amp;lpD3D );
</PRE>
<P>Whereas in C++ you must have code like this: <PRE>// pass reference to IID_IDirect3D
lpDD-&gt;QueryInterface( IID_IDirect3D, ( LPVOID * ) &amp;lpD3D ) ;
</PRE>
<P>Below are the troublemakers - HOW DO I FIX THEM?</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Failing that has anybody wrote a tutorial about putting 3D images on screen in C++ that works on Dev-C++ ?</P>

Why isn't the clrscr() working? The compiler says "implicit declaration
of function `int clrscr(...)".

DevCPP ain't Borland.  That's about it.  The standard libraries from =
each IDE differ somewhat.  It's your turn to find answers in the Man and =
FAQ.  Best thing to do is not using the standards that differ when =
switching between work and home - Computers.  Use OpenGL.  It's somehow =
on all machines the same (some have more lights, ...) and Capable of a =
lot more than writing text to screen ...

To get the date of the form  dd-mm-yy

#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{
    /* to store the time in seconds since 1970 */
    time_t  time_secs;

    /* to store time and date in the various fields of structure tm */
    struct tm  todays_date;

    /* get the calendar time, seconds since 1970 */
    time_secs = time(NULL);

    /* convert to broken-down time, see struct tm */
    todays_date = *localtime(&time_secs);

    /* output */
    printf("Todays date is %d-%d-%d",
                                todays_date.tm_mday,     /* day, 1-31 */
                                todays_date.tm_mon+1,   /* month, 0-11,
hence +1 */
                                todays_date.tm_year);      /* year since
1900 */
}
