Debug Menu#

To do: See if the Full Speed Render does anything.

As with most other games shipped with Vista and 7, it has an internal g_debugEnabled variable.

The options included in this menu are:

• Rotate Board - Rotates the board to the other side in the 3D view, but doesn't do anything in the 2D view.
• Self Play - View a game played by two computer players. If a game already began, the game will then start a new one.
• Toggle Top Down View - Goes to the top-down 2D view, but going back to the 3D view will cause the graphic setting to drop to the lowest-quality 3D setting.
• Toggle Full Speed Render - Supposedly would make the game run faster on slower computers.

XInput Support#

An interesting feature that isn't documented anywhere (Help Menu-wise) is XInput (gamepad) support – if the game detects an Xbox 360 controller plugged into a USB port, the P1 corner on the controller will light up, signifying the controller can be used. Possibly undocumented because Oberon Games/Microsoft thought a gamepad would be odd to use. It's a neat little feature, nonetheless.

Unused Textures#

To do: See if there's more to find.

There are some unused textures in the game files.

Environments#

These images were likely intended to be backgrounds before being replaced with simple gradients.

DXUT Controls#

An unused texture for what seems to be a development menu.
