Name: Basic Streaming Audio (stream)

Created: July 3rd, 2005

Last Update: July 6th, 2005

Description:

My DirectSound code ripped from my LAE project and modified so that it streams audio. In the best example I could do with my waves, it used a measly 2.3 MB memory compared to 9.6 MB when the song was fully allocated. The greatest thing about streaming audio is the size/usage will be the same no matter the size of the file. This knowledge and technique will be applied to later projects.

Code Location: http://ew.xidus.net/download/stream

Completion: 100% (I doubt I will expand it…)

Length: 495 lines as of July 6th, 2005

Name: Campaign Developer (cdev)

Created: June 23rd, 2005

Last Update: August 23rd, 2005

Description:

This program provides a DM friendly environment with various DM tools (dice roller, random treasure generator, etc). It utilizes the MDI to keep things organized and stores the campaign in a text format for easy editing when not using the program. Finally, you can export your saved campaign and it will compile all of the files into one and write it in a nice printable format. Possible expansions include actually finishing the said tasks, and quite possibly generating an XML file with an XSLT template for a more graphical look.

Code Location: http://ew.xidus.net/download/c-dev

Completion: 60%

Length: 2,231 lines as of July 6th, 2005
