GX2 c Read Readme | Read License | Read version history GX2 has officially been discontinued! This unit won't be developed anymore. Partially thanks to MS, since DOS emulation under W2k/XP is buggy. Additionally, I refuse to give any help that requires example code. Requirements: 1 Meg, Hicolor and/or Truecolor capable GFX card. 486 machine or above recommended! BP7, _NOT_TP7_ (you NEED DPMI) DOS, W9x - works partially under W2k/XP, with heavy memory usage unstable A new help file is now included in GX2. I hope it'll help everybody to understand the unit. However, I recommend more than only a small pascal knowledge for this unit. If you can't use GX2 because of one of the stated reasons, have a look to the left, my old GX-units are still available. News in this version: Bugfixes, bugsfixes, bugfixes... Have a look into doc/history.txt to see more details Here a list of the current features GX2 provides: Full 32 bit capabilities, LFB/Vesa2+ support, NO 64K LIMIT!! handles even very large images - largest tested one was a 4200x2966 JPEG loaded at 32 bpp (47.5 Megs memory size!!) Flexible object oriented interface, allows virtual screens at every supported BPP and every size (memory is the limit) Object oriented mouse unit, supports also virtual screens as output, hardware mouse support, more than one mouse useable Supports EVERY resolution supported by your card Source independent file reading/writing (load/save your images, fonts etc. from/to disk/memory/libraries - whatever you want!!) extremely accurate CPU-timestamp based timer unit Extended image/shape drawing (converts color resolutions by fly, addition, subtraction, alphamapping, xor/and/or, sprites, dither) 63 included XFN-fonts! 26 of them are converted SMFonts by Remco de Korte, 10 of them are converted Borland CHR-fonts, rest are bitmap fonts Supports Windows TTF font files MMX capabilities, asm optimized code - especially 24 and 32 bit modes are accelerated this way, also some other things with 8/15/16 bpp work with MMX, 64 Bit memory moving/filling - get all out of your AGP-card! Antialiased line-, vectorfont-, circle- and ellipse-drawing Various FAST effects (rotation, blurring, fading, alphablending, upscaling) Full clipping of ALL functions Printing on HP/Epson compatible printers GX2 is able to load AND SAVE the following file formats: BMP (all uncompressed files) GIF JPG (all kinds, needs extra download, see right) PCX (8,24 bit - extremely fast decompression) PNG (all kinds below and equal to 32 bpp) FLI/FLC (FLIC animation files, 8 bit, only playback!) Additional demos for GX2: Lensflare effect, combined with sunset (requires jpg-extension!) - [Download] (280K) Bumpmapping effect, Tunnel effect and Fern fractal - [Download] (300K) Lensflare-effect Tunnel-effect Projects, units and other things developed for or with GX2: Have a look at the Software section for Tetris II TTF-font to XFN-font converter for Windows - [Download] (170 K) Squash - Library system for stream32 (useable in GX2 and SoundLib 2) - [Download] [Link] GUI for GX2 (Link) Pangea - German-only page of a game project (Link) Arkanoid using GX2 - great FX usage!!
