The DXFramework Package

• Links to the DXFramework package are available on the DXFramework home page and on SourceForge.Net.
• Download the package and extract to any location on your computer that is convenient for you.
  • The folders Desktop, My Documents, and My Projects should all work.

Building and Running the Demo Projects

• Double click the DXFramework solution (dxf.sln) to load up the package.
• Use the hotkey control-shift-b to build everything.
  • Alternatively, use the menus: Build -> Build Solution
  • If you have build errors, first check the frequently asked questions page, then report it.
• Right click the demo project and select Set as start up project
• Press F5 to run the project.
  • Alternatively, use the menus: Debug -> Start
• When done, right click the other projects (worldmap, dxpong) to set them as start up project, and then F5 to run them.
  • The engine project cannot be debugged by itself because it is a library, so there is no point in setting it as a start up project.
  • Although the template project can be debugged by itself, it is used as a starting point (see below) so it is not very interesting.
