Re: About advanced configurations

Since I started this project, the most dreaded and mysterious part of writing a program for Windows has been device and driver enumeration. That's why the Aquarium only works with the Primary Display Device, and not pass-thru cards or multi-monitor setups. The DX8 example code provided by Microsoft is supposed to do a better job of finding out what each card's capabilities are, but it's too incompatible to graft into my DX6 code.

Eventually, actual programmers from Prolific Publishing may take over the coding of the Aquarium, and features like these may start showing up then.
