Determining the Capabilities of the Display Hardware
DirectDraw uses hardware emulation to perform the DirectDraw functions not supported by the user's hardware. To accelerate performance of your DirectDraw applications, you should determine the capabilities of the user's display hardware after you have created a DirectDraw object. DirectDraw will use any display acceleration hardware available on the user's system. Note that your application must supply DirectDraw with a list of the hardware emulation it needs in case the display adapter on the user's system does not contain the display acceleration hardware required by your application.
You can use the IDirectDraw2::GetCaps method to fill in the capabilities of the display hardware. The DirectDraw device driver for the hardware fills in the values of the dwCaps member of the DDCAPS structure. These values identify the capabilities of the display acceleration hardware on the system. The DDCAPS structure contains the address of the DDSCAPS structure that supplies hardware emulation requirements for the application. Hardware emulation will be used in case any or all of the DirectDraw hardware capabilities are not available on the display adapter. You must supply the hardware emulation values your application requires in the DDSCAPS structure.
Storing Bitmaps in Display Memory
Blitting from display memory to display memory is usually much more efficient than blitting from system memory to display memory. As a result, you should store as many of the sprites your application uses as possible in display memory.
Most display adapter hardware contains enough extra memory to store more than only the primary surface and the back buffer. You can use the dwVidMemTotal and dwVidMemFree members of the DDCAPS structure (if you used the IDirectDraw2::GetCaps method to get the capabilities of the user's display hardware) to determine the amount of available memory for storing bitmaps in the display adapter's memory. If you want to see how this works, use the DirectX Viewer application supplied with the DirectX SDK. Under DirectDraw Devices, open the Primary Display Driver folder, and then open the General folder. The amount of total display memory (minus the primary surface) and the amount of free memory is displayed. Each time a surface is added to the DirectDraw object, the amount of free memory decreases by the amount of memory used by the added surface.
Triple Buffering
In some cases, it may be possible to speed up the process of displaying your application by using triple buffering. Triple buffering uses one primary surface and two back buffers. The following example shows how to initialize a triple-buffering scheme:
// Create the primary surface with two back buffers.
ddsd.dwSize = sizeof(ddsd);
ddsd.dwFlags = DDSD_CAPS | DDSD_BACKBUFFERCOUNT;
ddsd.ddsCaps.dwCaps = DDSCAPS_PRIMARYSURFACE |
DDSCAPS_FLIP | DDSCAPS_COMPLEX;
ddsd.dwBackBufferCount = 2;
ddrval = lpDD->CreateSurface(&ddsd, &lpDDSPrimary, NULL);
if(ddrval == DD_OK)
{
// Get a pointer to the first back buffer.
ddscaps.dwCaps = DDSCAPS_BACKBUFFER;
ddrval = lpDDSPrimary->GetAttachedSurface(&ddscaps,
&lpDDSBackOne);
if(ddrval != DD_OK)
// Display an error message here.
// Retrieve a pointer to the second back buffer.
ddscaps.dwCaps = DDSCAPS_BACKBUFFER;
ddrval = lpDDSPrimary->GetAttachedSurface(&ddscaps,
&lpDDSBackTwo);
Triple buffering allows your application to continue blitting to a back buffer even if a flip has not completed and the first back buffer's blit has already finished. Performing a flip is not a synchronous event; one flip can take longer than another. Therefore, if your application uses only one back buffer, it may spend some time idling while waiting for the IDirectDrawSurface2::Flip method to return with DD_OK.
