Well i decided to make a 3d engine, and this is as far as i have got. It can do ANY polygon that u can make. Runs at around 340 fps on my WinXP machine (1ghz,256mb ram, geforce 2 MX 32mb). I added a VisX editor to make your own 3d objects while seing them rotate in 3d space, then generate the code with 1 click. The only problem i have is i can get the drawing oders right so colours can be used on sides! If you can help please do! Please vote :). Nick

Beginers Tutorial For DirectX 8.x WILL Teach You: How to initialise DirectX, DirectD3D and a Direct3DDevice How to use and initialise a Vertex Buffer How to Render a 3D Pyramid How to use Matrix's to rotate your 3D objects How to use Z-Buffering (Draw-Orders/Draw-Buffering)

A complete 3D engine in Pure VB Code and API. Includes a 3D object maker that lets you view your objects in real time 3D while you make ajustments, at the click of a button it automatically generates the code for you!!! The project is FULL of stuff thats commented out because its not needed for this example. Example is a Satilite floating through space and the VisualX logo all in 3D. NO C++, Open GL or DirectX. Just VB. Supports: Custom polygons, polygon edges and faces (colours), draw order sorting, BackBuffering,Object editing, origin movement, angle movement. Please vote and any comments to time_to_die_@excite.com VisualX is Copyright © 2001 - 2002 SpyderNet. This code may be redistrubuted in its intirety when Spyder-Net is mentioned as the author. Copy this and say its yours and I will remove something with rusty scissors >=o) VOTE!!!!!

Compares 2 images, and either produces an image 'map' showing similaritys or extracts the differences and shows them. Then dispays a msgbox showing pixles, and how similar (in %), then judges wether they are similar/different.

The first of my tutorials on writting Shells (like explorer) in VB

This is the first code EVER on PSC (that i have found) which can tell you how to use the CombineRgn API call. Using this forms like the ones in WinMediaPlayer can be made. No more simple rectangles! You can have holes in the middle of your form or a menu off the side! Please rate this code and leave your comments!

Well, after alot of hard work, I've got a new version of EShell. There are still a few bugs lurking in it that need to but ironed out but its pretty stable (DesktopAddon module doesnt like loading first time though). This time i've gone for a modularised Shell were each part is in a different EXE. ** IMPORTANT ** : READ THE RELEASE NOTES THAT ARE DISPLAYED WHEN YOU FIRST RUN ESHELL, COMPILE ALL THE EXE'S AS DESCRIBED OR ESHELL _WILL_NOT_ WORK!!!. Still to come: Replace the Explorer style file browser with an EShell module. A logoff button =o/. System monitor module. Module + Core crash detecting Module (what if that one crashes =oP). And some other stuff. Please vote, and leave comments. Thanks, Nick Ridley

Spyder Personal Firewall is the first firewall (with source) on PSC. currently it only supports TCP, but UDP support is just arround the corner. It has the ability to block unique remote hosts, remote ports and local ports giving you complete control over your system. Also network traffic can be ignored, and let straight through. All ips and ports that do not yet have a rule set are logged and an alert window will pop-up. Please vote and leave comments =o) UPDATE: added options, security levels, warns on exit and when moved to system tray, system tray menu, trojan list (tells if a trojan may be using connection, used for low security level).
