Readme file for GX Sample1


This sample application shows how to use the Game API (GAPI) .dll for creating games. It draws a two level star field that can be scrolled around with the hardware buttons or with the touch screen. The entire screen is used and the hardware buttons are remapped allowing the application to virtually take over the machine.

In order to compile this sample the gx.h and gx.lib files must be installed correctly as detailed in the Pocket PC Game API Readme file.

The GXSample.cpp file contains many comments and has no external file dependencies outside of the SDK.

The directional buttons scroll over the star field.  Button A clears the screen to a random color and Button B pauses the scrolling.  Tapping and dragging on the screen allows the star field to be moved around.  Press the start button to exit (the action button on most devices).
