Planet Chili

hi there, Planet Chili .
i wanted to use all my C++ "chilian" knowledge so i made this project from scratch using chilli framework 2016 and ofcourse learned from his tutorials (finished old series and some parts of HUGS).

but its still a bit un-complete, there is some rules i didn't implement yet and there is no AI, however its near end.
anyways problem is that, after adding sprites the game Performance diminishes , you can see that clearly when the TILEs highlight.
i don't know what to do about it, so i will post the source here hoping that any of knowledgeable people can tell me where my performance drops!

note: in-game "Turns" disabled for easier debugging
note 2: in-game input is done using mouse left click

Although I don't know a lot about C++ yet, I'd like to try to help anyways, but I can't seem to open the .sln file to open the code.

Sorry 'bout that, probably stupidity on my part.

Edit: As albinopapa has pointed out, be sure to Extract the file!

it maybe because you don't have the right version of visual studio or maybe you don't have Directx installed on your pc...

does a clean solution of Chili framework opens with you?

It says: (Microsoft Visual Studio Popup)
One or more projects in the solution were not loaded correctly.
Please see the Output Window for details.

Output window:
C:\Users\blurred\AppData\Local\Temp\7zO481D58A5\Engine\Engine.vcxproj : error : Project "C:\Users\blurred\AppData\Local\Temp\7zO481D58A5\Engine\Engine.vcxproj" could not be found.

I'm using Visual Studio 2015.

Anyways, someone smarter will come along, so don't waste your error finding time on me .

You have to unzip the files to a folder first, I don't think you can run directly from zip file

Hmmm, I don't see why the graphics of a chess game should cause a slowdown. When I get some time, I'll take a look at this and see where the issue is. (I am assuming you are building and running in Release, and not Debug).

in both cases there is a major slowdown...i think i should mention that , iam using sprites (bmp files)

Runs just fine for me.

I get 1~0% CPU usage. Runs smooth.

P.S.

Looking good bro

Add this code between lines 22 and 23 in Graphics.h to get rid of a bunch of annoying warnings:
#include "ChiliWin.h"

oh well.... that's so frustrating, i was pretty sure that i tested it with release....
but looks like this isn't the case x_X
anyways, thanks guys for testing it out. and thanks For removing those annoying warnings too
