ECS 160 Windows

This is the repository for the ECS 160 Winter 2017 Windows version of Warcraft.

Compatibility

This version of the game is aimed to be compatible with Windows 7 and above. Should you have any trouble running this program with any of the the supported operating systems, please leave a Github issue!

Requirements

In order to compile the game, you will need:

Compiling

Open the project in Visual Studio and build the solution (Build > Build Solution).

Running the game

Simply run Warcraft.exe in the bin/Debug/ or bin/Release/ directory after compiling the game.

Controls

  • Selecting Units: Left Click, Click + Drag for multiple units

Common Problems

I get this exception when I run the game:

Exception thrown: 'SharpDX.SharpDXException' in SharpDX
Warcraft.vshost.exe Error: 0 : SharpDX.SharpDXException: HRESULT: [0x887A0005], Module: [SharpDX.DXGI], ApiCode: [DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED/DeviceRemoved]

This seems to be an issue with Windows 7. Install this Windows Update and verify that the issue is resolved.

I hear the background music, but not the sound effects.

Install the latest DirectX runtime and verify that the issue is resolved.
