These are the set of the 13 TUTO graphics samples included with the PSYQ sdk for the playstation 1, reimplemented in C++ (the original tutorials are written in C).
The original source code for each of these is in the global_src directory
Each directory contains a 'comp.bat' file to compile the example; assumes you have the PSYQ environment variables set up.
Additionally, the bottom half of each 'comp.bat' contains commands to make a bin/cue cd image using psx-sdk, using its included mkpsxiso utility. If you don't have psx-sdk installed (or not located in C:/psx-sdk), you can comment out those lines by putting a '::' at the beginning of each line (most comp.bat files already have these commented out)
Most of the examples have been tested on a real PSX using PSIO. The only issue I've noticed is that the Pad class (controller) causes the system to freeze occasionally; from what I've read of this it has to do with VSyncs or something. Commenting out the pad code from the program fixes this issue as far as I can tell.
Each sample has its main entry point in main.cpp. The remaining files are helper classes. Not all files are used for each example; investigating main.cpp should indicate what is used. The helper classes are as follows:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| System | Initializes PSX hardware and manages GPU drawing |
| Pad | Manages controllers; buggy currently and causes crashes on real PSX hardware sometimes |
| Texture | Sends texture data to the gpu and manages its PSX related info |
| Sprite,Sprite_textured | Manages sprite primitives, their locations, textures, and sizes |
| Cube | A simple 3D cube object that can be drawn without loading any model data; textured or untextured depending on the sample |
