BRIEF

Sub Project Name: Map Editor Development

Project Objective:  Produce The Game Maps

Develop Environment: Microsoft Windows 98

Program Developing Language: C

Developing Toolkit: Microsoft Virtual C++ 6.0

Developing Technique Needed:

• WIN32 Programming Technique
• DirectX Programming Technique

Function Prospect:

• Throughout an easy way to edit game maps.
• You can select your won bitmap element what you want.
• The program should support keyboard and mouse.
• The program should include menu area, toolbars area; edit area and statue bar area.

Module Objective

• The module is a primary module of this program.
• The primary task is creating a window and builds up a main event loop.

Structure English Description

Main function ( )

{

  Initialize window class

  If (Register window class != success)

    Return error message

  If (windows exist == true)

    Return error message

  If (create window != success)

    Return error message

  Save current window handle to global variable

  Save current application handle to global variable

  Perform all game specific initialization

  Enter main event loop

  {

if (there is a message in message queue == true)

{

  if (message == WM_QUIT)

    break out event loop

 translate any accelerator keys

 send the message to window proc

}

main map editor process goes here

  }

  shutdown map editor release all resources

  return useless message and exit

}
