What is DelphiX?
Answer:
DelphiX is a very good DirectX implementation with 12 visual components for the
Delphi versions 3, 4 and 5. The componets were programmed by Hiroyuki Hori (his
homepage:
http://www.yks.ne.jp/~hori/index-e.htmlhttp://www.yks.ne.jp/~hori/index-e.html).
DelphiX supports all DirectX technologies (DirectDraw, Direct3D, DirectPlay,
DirectInput...) to program high performance graphic applications with Delphi.
This components are:
TDXDraw - DirectDraw surface for graphic output
TDXDIB - DIB-Image
TDXImageList - Imagelist of DIB-Images
TDX3D - Direct3D support for TDXDraw surface
TDXSound - DirectSound support
TDXWave - Soundfile-component for DirectSound
TDXWaveList - Soundfile-list
TDXInput - DirectInput, controller support
TDXPlay - DirectPlay, for multiplayer network games
TDXSpriteEngine - Spriteengine for DirectDraw-surface
TDXTimer - High-performance Timer
TDXPaintBox - Like TPaintbox but faster
