Rodney and I have been learning C++ and now we are looking at MFC with an eye to writing A:M plugins
MFC or Microsoft Foundation Class is an addition to C++ that handles standard Windows GUI elements like menus and dialogs and interactions with the main program.
WinTester.exe is my first program using these.
WinTester.zip
WinTester has an "Exercise" menu with four choices:
Blank - erases screen
Red Rectangle - makes one
Gradient - asks you to input RGB values for start and end colors and will draw a smooth transition between the two.
Ballistic - will plot a projectile path based on parameters you input...
X and Y define a point from the lower left corner that your gun is aimed at.
Scale controls the initial velocity
Gravity is a constant downward force
Wind is a horizontal force
