Detailed Description

Header that chooses and abstracts an engine.

The goal is to make the puppets and the stage a platform capable of working in many graphics engines, if possible; this define will be used to choose between platform specific code segments. Simply uncomment only the line that described the engine being used.

Define Documentation

#define HANDLE_TYPE   HOBJECT

Standard handle type. The definition of the engine-specific handle-type that a Puppet should use.

#define RESULT_TYPE   LTRESULT

Standard result type. The definition of the engine-specific result-type that a Puppet should use. What gets returns as a error-check measure by the engine.

#define STAGE_DEBUG   g_pLTClient->CPrint

Debugging output function for appropriate engine. The graphical equivalent of a printf in whatever engine environment we're working with.

#define VECTOR_TYPE   LTVector

Standard vector type. The definition of the engine-specific handle-type that a Puppet should use. If the engine has none, just use a standard OpenGL-style vector.

#define VECTOR_TYPE_3F   LTVector3f

Standard three-dimensional vector type. The definition of the engine-specific worldspace vector that a Puppet should use. If there's no differentiation between a three-dimensional vector and a standard vector, just have VECTOR_TYPE_3F point to VECTOR_TYPE.

#define __ENGINE_LITHTECH__

Only defined if the engine being used to display virpets is LithTech. Uncomment this line to choose the LithTech engine for your rendering needs.
