Compiling on Windows XP using Visual C++ 2005 Express

Today is a day to mark on the calendar --Sylphis now has documentation! True, it doesn't delve into how to create a new entity type, edit a map, or any of the other details most of you must be wondering about. But it does fill a very important hole: how to compile Sylphis.

Now that Sylphis is in a much more stable state than the initial 0.95 release, a lot more documentation will be coming a lot more quickly. This is just the start...

Enjoy! Compiling Sylphis

Still no backbuffer clear

Hi,
I had posted in the VC 2005 thread about my binary not clearing the back buffer and leaving trails of anything moved on the screen. After downloading yesterday's binary, I still have the same problem, is your .exe alright?

Yup, saw your post on that

Yup, saw your post on that thread. As I said in my reply, I'll be posting a bug report on the issue shortly. (The bug doesn't really have anything to do with compiling, as I understand it, so it's no surprise that you get it even when you compile from scratch yourself. I get it too.)
