Startup of Torque Engine on Windows

by Chad Naeger · in Torque Game Engine · 02/03/2002 (8:56 am) · 3 replies

I was trying to determine the startup process for the Torque engine on Windows.

So I put a breakpoint in WinMain. However, this breakpoint is never hit.

I was wondering if anyone knows why this is. If I put a breakpoint on the run method in main, that breakpoint is hit.

Thanks,
Chad

Winmain is probably in there to stop windows compilers complaining about an entry point.

The game is cross platform, so i guess it just uses main so that it doesnt become platform dependant.

Try putting a breakpoint in winWindow.cc, main() fn (approx line 1124).

The project for compiling the windows version of the demo is set to compile/link as a console application. Using the project options you can reset it to compile/link as a windowed application.

Either way, the console entry point is main() or WinMain for a windowed app in winWindow.cc
