Real Time graphics on Symbian how?

It's all in the DirectScreenAccess classes.
First, download this from forum nokia.
This should be pretty self explanatory.
When you are done with that document, I advise searching for CDirectScreenAccess at the forum nokia web site. Read the rest of the documents you see there.
If you still have questions, let me know.

Cheers,

did you even read his post?

actualy just discovered what i wanted, seems like the best way simple is not using DSA and go for TScreenInfo01 using a foregound event listener to stop rendering while menus pop up

but i also saw in the nokia 3d engine example all game processing in a CIdle active object, is that realy nescessary? i find using active objects in processing somewhat confusing

I'm in the beginning stages of a 3d game for Symbian and I'm not using any Active Objects or CIdle. But I don't have anything too complex at this stage so I'm not sure what I will need in the future!

I found some of that 3d engine example a bit confusing, but it does run pretty well on phones (I think 25fps on a Nokia 6600).

interesting, how you are handling symbian drawing stuff on the screen over your app?

ok ignore me. I am using active objects. I have been building my application from an simple example and was not aware of it... [embarrass] I'm still new to Symbian...

symbian is trikey :P
