Eye Candies / BassBox Plugin 64-bit
« Last post by Patrice Terrier on September 19, 2024, 06:23:34 pm »
The purpose of this VS2022 application is to switch easily from one plugin to another to check the OpenGL FPO effects transposed to 64-bit.
Most of them inherit from the original 32-bit version written long ago in PowerBASIC.



To navigate from one plugin to another move the cursor to the left or right edge of the window, and click on the auto/hide arrow.

Use drag & drop to play a specific audio file, and see how the effects interact with it.

Here is the BBP API to use to communicate with the plugin DLL.
See in the WM_TIMER message the gl_DrawScene() code using BBP_RenderOpenGL to pass the wimdata pointer to the DLL.

Eye Candies / BassBox64 (updated)
« Last post by Patrice Terrier on August 28, 2024, 10:14:19 am »
The previous post has been updated with a new version.

New:
Preprocess mouse messages to use either left or right button to fire a WM_COMMAND.
Save window coordinates.
Memory foot print reduction.
Further optimization.

Bug fix:
In case of playing multiple audio files. The selection order was not respected.
When playing a sound tracker, the file name was truncated by the previous wsplitpath function.

The concept / ShaderPlay
« Last post by Patrice Terrier on August 08, 2024, 01:11:50 pm »
ShaderPlay is derivated from ORV64.
Its purpose is to play ShaderToy static animations.



It is written in C/C++ with VS2022, and does use TClib.lib to produce a tiny 15 Kb binary.
Each schader file is stored in a distinct subfolder, under the 3D_models parent folder.

The shader code file is using the .fs extension, it is sligthy different from the original ShaderToy to match the OR (ObjReader) specifications.

For the purpose of ShaderPlay, each project is provided with a specific sound track to shut down automatically the shader once audio comes to full completion (except when playing in loop mode).

The concept / ParticLines
« Last post by Patrice Terrier on July 24, 2024, 02:25:28 pm »
The original project was written in Pascal by Jan Horn (passed in 2002).

This current VS2022 version has been converted from PowerBASIC (GDImage 5.00) to C/C++ (GDImage64 7.16).



The window is using the GDImage anti-aliased WGL_CreateWindow API to create the 3D container and to produce the smooth particle tail lines.

The WinLIFT theme is based on the Windows Seven style that was used by the year 2010.

TClib.lib is used to produce the small binary executable of only 17Kb.

Tips & Tricks / Re: CPU Meter
« Last post by Patrice Terrier on July 08, 2024, 06:16:49 pm »
This is version 2.00.

It has been reworked to match the CPU processor percentage computation used in Windows 11.

On previous Windows 10, they were using "Processor(_Total)\\% Processor Time"

The solution is to use PDH (Performance Data Helper) and the Processor Utility request
nStatus = PdhAddEnglishCounter(cpuQuery, L"\\Processor Information(_Total)\\% Processor Utility", NULL, &cpuTotal);

\\Processor Information(_Total)\\% Processor Utility
  • Description: This counter measures the percentage of processor utility across all processors.
  • Utility: It provides a more detailed and modern view of processor usage, taking into account various factors like the efficiency of processing and modern CPU architectures.
  • Availability: This counter is generally available on newer systems with modern processors. It can give a more accurate representation of CPU utilization in multi-core and hyper-threaded environments.
\\Processor(_Total)\\% Processor Time
  • Description: This counter measures the percentage of time the processor is busy executing a non-idle thread.
  • Utility: It is a more traditional counter that has been available in Windows for a long time. It reflects the CPU load by measuring the active time versus the idle time of the CPU.
  • Availability: This counter is widely available across different versions of Windows and provides a consistent measure of CPU usage.
Note:
The project use TCLib.lib to produce a tiny 29 Kb binary executable.

Eye Candies / BassBox64 (alias BB64) full VS2022 project
« Last post by Patrice Terrier on June 23, 2024, 07:15:47 pm »
BassBox64 (alias BB64)
is a C/C++ VS2022 64-bit version, using a totaly different GUI, with huge size optimization.
The OpenGL visual plugins are still those from the PowerBASIC 32-bit version.



When visual plugins are enabled, press the left or right mouse button to change them.
You can also use the mouse buttons to select a specific image background.
