I am enclosing the source for a VB game I found on the Web and that I will be working on. If runs in full screen in exclusive mode and is therefore quite a pain to debug (it locks the screen and VB is no longer visible) If possible, I would like to have a conditional compiler constant that allows the selection between the two modes: #const FULL_SCREEN=TRUE #IF FULL_SCREEN THEN ... NOTE: the program uses page flipping which (IIUC) can only be used in full_screen. So the windowed version should turn page flipping off. Currently, there are two DirectDrawSurface7 objects defined: Public Primary As DirectDrawSurface7 'Primary surface Public BackBuffer As DirectDrawSurface7 'Backbuffer surface All operations are done on BackBuffer then the pages are flipped. I think that the best way to do this should be something like Public Primary As DirectDrawSurface7 'Primary surface Public BackBuffer As DirectDrawSurface7 'Backbuffer surface Public UsedBuffer As DirectDrawSurface7 'Used surface #IF FULLSCREEN then set UsedBuffer = BackBuffer #ELSE set UsedBuffer = Primary #ENDIF ...
