Re: Hey, this thing\'s starting to look like a mode
Well it sounds like you guys either don't have DirectX installed, or you have an old Version... do you have Version 9.0c (the Summer 2004 update Version)?
Sorry for all your trouble just to see some spinning teapots!  Hopefully I'll have more features soon...

Re: Hey, this thing\'s starting to look like a mode
Aha!
I found the problem!
When you install DirectX, you have to use the command-line option /InstallManagedDX on the installer! Otherwise Microsoft assumes you're not interested in running .NET DirectX applications and doesn't install support for them 
BTW, when I say the installer, I mean the dxsetup.exe that you get after extracting the initial self-extracting archive.
Try downloading the program again, too... now you can move the most recently created shape around by using the Translate menu options... currently Screen coordinates are not implemented, though, and Local and World do the same thing since I haven't added object rotation (just camera orbiting)...

Sorry then, I'm not about to install any .NET runtime or other. the .net framework is the #1 biggest leak and source for web based viruses. FYI, it's how most of the malware, spyware and otherwise hijackers get installed without so much as a thank you. The JRE runtime enviorment is the second biggest culpret for spreading malware and hijackers, but some sites I go to require that I have it installed so it's a necessary evil. The .net framework is not needed by me for any reason.
anyway, enough babbling, Cheers!

buh... guh? fuh!?!
Give me some real world stats, 'cause I suspect none of that is true.
The .NET Framework has a built-in security system, which prevents untrusted code (stuff from the internet) from using certain system resources (reg keys, read/write access to HD, etc). The Java Run-time Environment runs code in a protected sandbox (which has admittedly been patched recently for a potential breach).
The #1 method for viruses to run is with the IA-32 instruction set. Think about it.

You probably need to install the C# .NET runtime, as undoubtedly Ekolis used this for his program...

WTH is the C# .NET runtime? Do you mean the CLR? You install only one runtime, which runs MSIL (or CIL).
