Simple Demo

[eloriundo]

Hello,

I'm not an experienced programmer and the demos I've downloaded from 3DConnexion site (the Cube3D ones) are complex enough for me to understand. I guess they include to much "tricks" (use of COM objects for example, of which I know nothing and would prefer not to learn) and menu's and colors and so on.

Is it necessary to use all that in order to make a simple application run? Does anyone has a VERY SIMPLE demo with the most basic functions necessary to retrieve the state of the device and configure it? Like create a cube with glut and move the camera or the cube itself.
Or a step-by-step tutorial, that would also be great.

By the way, I have a Space Navigator PE, and I'm running windows XP if that makes a difference. I have visual studio 2008, and could also use CODE::BLOCKS or other IDE/compiler if the tutorial is designed for that.

Thanks in advance,
Pablo

There is a very simple C# example posted on the forum. There is also an older SDK if you are a Win32/MFC programmer (www.3dconnexion.com->support->driver downloads->spacetraveler->archive->3DxWare sdk).

What language do you use?

Oh, I forgot that. I use C++. Do you have by the way the link or title of the conversation where the demo you mention was posted?

Thanks,
Pablo
