EVE Miner Timer Trinity

[xterminhate]

Hello,

Here is an "EVE-online" tool which is based on Irrlicht and Irrklang.
This tool features a programmable countdown timer controlled by a UI that sounds, looks and feels like the EVE online in game UI.


Although this is a very simple application, I'm posting here to share the design of this software. Why ?
Because, this tool concentrates technics and show "how to" :
- render into a custom win32 window,
- make the windows always on top and transparent,
- make irrlicht render frame transparent,
- use a small and big custom icon,
- set a custom cursor
- move a custom window by dragging the mouse.

Here is the result when playing EVE online game :











See http://205.205.214.96/EVE for contact/updates.

Source code (400 LoC): main.cpp (I tried to clean as much as possible the code).

Kind regards.

Cool, that's an interesting demo for external window usage.

Yeah useful demo, also the artwork is very nice!

If the goal is an How-To, shouldn't it be in FAQ/How-to ?

Hmm, could also go into code snippets once it has the code link. But I guess we can decide that later on...

Updated. I'm still working on that application. Code will be updated again in the next few days. I hope some pieces of this code will help.

KR,

Is it relevant? let the mods do the modding.
Very cool example here, its a really useful technique that im sure a huge number of ppl over look, and its quite a good implementation. i was messing with this a while back but not in even just in some random app ;p

Good work!

*ps, sorry dorth but it gets old really fast when people derail a thread for no reason at all. Who wants to post in a community when ur post is ignored.. but the replies are about minor things that isnt ur place to care for
