OpenB3D Engine Wrapper for ThinBasic (open testing)

**Artemka** · 12-03-2013, 20:59

Hello everybody!

Here is my wrapper of OpenB3D for thinBasic. OpenB3D is based on MiniB3D and use OpenGL for graphics rendering.

Some Features:

Repeats almost all features Blitz3D;
Allows you to load *.b3d files (with animations) and *.3ds (only static) 3D model formats;
Allows you to load *.bmp, *.jpg, *.png, *.tga texture formats;

How to use:

Extract openb3d.dll and openb3d.tbasici in your project folder;
In your main source place the line #INCLUDE "%APP_SOURCEPATH%\openb3d.tbasici";

Sample using TBGL + Openb3D:

Uses "TBGL"
#INCLUDE "%APP_SOURCEPATH%\openb3d.tbasici"

%NO_PARENT = 0 As Byte

Function TBMain()
  Local hWnd As DWord
  
  Local CAM, LIGHT, MESH As DWord
  
  ' -- Create and show window
  hWnd = TBGL_CreateWindowEx("OpenB3D 0.6 - press ESC to quit", 1280, 720, 32, %TBGL_WS_WINDOWED Or %TBGL_WS_CLOSEBOX) 
  Graphics3D(1280, 720, 32, 2, 60)
  
  CAM = CreateCamera(%NO_PARENT)
  LIGHT = CreateLight(1, %NO_PARENT)
  MESH = CreateCube(%NO_PARENT)
  
  PositionEntity(CAM, 0.0, 0.0, -25.0, %FALSE)
  PositionEntity(LIGHT, 0.0, 5.0, 0.0, %FALSE)   
  
  ' -- Resets status of all keys 
  TBGL_ResetKeyState() 

  ' -- Main loop
  While TBGL_IsWindow(hWnd) 

    TBGL_ClearFrame
    
    TurnEntity(MESH, 0.3, 0.1, 0.15, %FALSE)
    
    RenderWorld()
    
    TBGL_DrawFrame 

    ' -- ESCAPE key to exit application
    If TBGL_GetWindowKeyState(hWnd, %VK_ESCAPE) Then Exit While 

  Wend 
  
  ' -- Clear OpenB3D res
  ClearWorld(%TRUE, %TRUE, %TRUE)
  TBGL_DestroyWindow
End Function
