I searched around trying to find a ticker that operates much like the one on this site to no avail. So I wrote one. It was actually quite easy.
VTrack2 by Robert Rayment This program uses floor ray-casting from the eye onto a color-height byte array (ie for simplicity avoiding separate height & color maps). The color-heights are then projected back to a front surface byte array which blitted to the screen using the API StretchDIBits. The program can be run with or without machine code and it runs for any screen size or color setting There is an automatic mode which goes round a track once with timing. In the VB environment this takes about 300 secs, VB EXE takes between 35 and 65 secs depending on Voxel heights and machine code bewteen 12 and 24 secs on my 400 MHz computer. Controls are the cursor keys to move forward, backward, turn to the left and turn to the right. With Shift the up & down arrows change the height of objects and Ctrl with the up & down arrows moves the viewer up & down. The SPACE bar brings the motion to an immediate halt. With the Pyramids a wall forms a boundary around the surface but with Plasmas the surface rolls over giving continuous motion. There is also collision detection based on the eye coords and the Voxel height in the vicinity on the floor surface. Different palettes can be selected and they take effect immediately. Changing the motion control or surface type requires the START button to be pressed. The casting routine is modified from that of D Brebner's of Unlimited Realities. In particular a spherical correction is applied and the scanning is from -ve to +ve angles placing the viewer in the middle of the screen. The FloorCASTER routine is commented in detail - the effects are very subtle. The machine code routines are in a bin file for use with CallWindowsProc but could easily be converted to a DLL. See also the recent prog from NLS, on PSC, which shows an alternative method for Voxels with 24-bit color. The ZIP file is 40 KB. (ADDITIONS Switch smoothing, plateau surface, collision flash, no collision in clouds).

NOT just another Scrollbar : This control will allow you to use graphics for the background, thumb and the buttons. Works in either Horizontal or verticle orientation, will automatically determine the orientation when you create the control on the form. Uses Longs for the Min / Max / Value properties, no more 65535 limitation. Can AutoSize to the dimensions of the background picture. The buttons on the ends can be hidden so only the BackGround and the Thumb are shown. Great for use with Skins and other unique grpahical applications. No flicker. Smooth scrolling. [ Updated ]

Torion is a scrolling shoot game that was inspired in my favourite games, Zanac and Aleste from MSX. It was done using DirectX 7 w/ VB 6, and it´s great to learn Direct Draw, Direct Music, Direct Input and Direct Sound.
Change the appearance of a progress bar with bitmap files, I included a few sample skins. Use's the BitBlt API Function, On a usercontrol.

This application allows you to access websites that have been blocked by network administrators and website filters that check for obscene words in pages when they pass throught the proxy. This app gets the html code of the website instead of the actual website itself then saves the file to disk and opens it from there. It does look complicated but is is ver easy to understand. If you like my code please vote for it, Thanks.
ATTENTION D3D DEVELOPERS! Do you use 3D Studio Max to create the models for your D3D Applications? Don't have an Export Plugin and are tired of useing the command line driven conv3ds? Well this is for you! My application simply tailors the command line to your likings by a GUI based options menu (see screen shot) then runs conv3ds for you! Sure, it's real simple. It took me about 5 minutes to make, but you might not have thought of it. And now you don't have to!
Kia Ora, Simpleray is a Simple Raycasting example. If you have ever seen Wolfenstein 3D or Ken's Labyrinth. This is kindof a basic attempt at it. Coded in about Half-an-hour. (sorry bout the REM/Comments). All VB+API, no DirectX. __Please vote, whether good or bad, any vote is greatly appreciated.__ Keywords: Raycast, 3D, 2D to 3D, Wolfenstein 3d, Bitblt, h24Bitmap, Fish eye effect, fish bowl effect, Maze.
This increadible program lets you add many files to the single executable. Its as good as commertial software! It also compresses the files. Ideal for setup programs. When all the files are extracted, it can execute a script/program. The extractor exe has a progress bar and a 'copy file' animation. Looks just likes Microsofts version. Full source code is included. PLEASE VOTE.
This button was created to be an enhanced replacement for Visual Basic's standard command button by adding more options, visual effects, and compatibility. I cannot guarantee that this code is bug free although I have made every attempt to make it such. If you have any problems with this code please contact me and I'll do what I can to help you through the problem. Release 1.3.0: + New: - Added Picture Alignment (Thanks Edwin Vermeer) - Added Elliptical and Box Gradients - Added Caption and Picture Alignment Cushions (Almost like margins) - Added BackGround/Control Autosizing (Picture Modes) - Added HSL Gradient Blending (Thanks Ulli & Edwin Vermeer) - Added Gradient Repetitions (Thanks Edwin Vermeer) - Added Hover options which allow Full Hover Effects / Border Only Hover / All Hover Effects except Border - Added Mouse Pointer/Icon handling for Disabled, Down, and Hover states. + Fixed: - Bug in Enabled Property (Design Mode, Control would appear enabled even though control was disabled after a form with control on it was closed then re-opened, Bug has present since Release 1.0.0) (Thanks for reporting problem, Edwin Vermeer) - Bug in scaling that would cause the button to crash when placed on a parent that did not have ScaleMode available (PictureBox on an MDI form, etc...). Now if Parent.ScaleMode is not available button will scale co-ordinates to Twips (Thanks for reporting problem, costamar) - Bug in ToolTips that would cause button to crash when used in environments without the extender object (Access VBA, etc...) (Thanks for reporting problem, Edwin Vermeer) + Improved: - Caption Alignment has been improved to allow for positioning in any of 9 different positions [Changed existing enumeration which will cause some problems when upgrading] (Left Top / Left Middle / Left Bottom / Center Top Center Middle / Center Bottom / Right Top / Right Middle / Right Bottom) - Enabled/Disabled coding to allow more control over the Disabled state of the control. Now prevents event processing instead of disabling the user control. - ToolTips to allow using ToolTips in environments that don't support the Extender.
