-If you want to hear anything, you'll need FMOD.+([[https://www.rtsoft.com/temp/RTSimpleApp.html|HTML5 version here]] - runs on phone/tablets too)
  
-Alternately, you could change AudioManagerFMOD g_audioManager; in App.cpp to AudioManager g_audioManager, this is a dummy audio manager that doesn't actually play anything. Useful for when you want to disable sound code alltogether to debug something.+It illustrates how to use entities and components and is a good sample to "clone" when starting your own project.
  
-Let's assume you want FMOD - for legal reasons I can't include it with the sdk, but it's very easy to download and copy into the right place.+You can compile and run it by following the directions from RTBareBones with one additional thing:
  
-First [[http://www.fmod.org/index.php/download|download the Windows 32 bit version of FMOD]] and install somewhere. (it's ok if you have a 64 bit version of windows)+==== Choosing an audio system ====
  
-Locate the directory with file explorer and cut and paste the entire "api" directory into <main proton dir>/shared/win/fmod+The default audio system for Windows is Audiere (thanks to rzuf).  It compiles "out of the box" as its 32 and 64 bit lib/dll/h files are included in Proton.
  
-Oh, and also copy fmodex.dll from the api directory into <main proton dir>/RTSimpleApp/bin or else you'll get a dll not found error.+Don't want audio at all?  If you look near the top of App.cpp you'll see where you could comment out AudioManagerAudiere g_audioManager and uncomment AudioManager g_audioManager.  This is the dummy audio manager that doesn't actually play anything.
  
-The app should now compile!+If for some reason you'd like to switch to the FMOD sound system, [[proton:using_fmod_win|here is info on how to do that.]]

-Remember, when you change a .png, you change it in media/*, and then must run update_media.bat to update the bin versions before you will see it in game.  Android/iPhone/WebOS scripts will grab the media from the bin directory.

 +RTPack <any file> (Compresses it as an rtpack without changing the name)

 +
 +RTPack -4444 <image file> (Makes raw rgba 16 bit 4444 or 565 if no alpha .rttex)
 +RTPack -8888 <image file> (Creates raw rgba 32 bit .rttex, or 24 bit if no alpha
 +RTPack -8888 -ultra_compress 90 <image file> (Writes .rttex with good compression when there isn't alpha)
 +RTPack -pvrtc4 <image file> (Makes pvrtc .rttex - for PowerVR chipsets)
 +RTPack -pvrtc2 <image file> (Makes low quality pvrtc .rttex - for PowerVR chipsets)
 +More extra flags you can use with texture generation:
 +-mipmaps (Causes mipmaps to be generated)
 +-stretch (Stretches instead of pads to reach power of 2)
 +-force_square (forces textures to be square in addition to being power of 2)
 +-4444_if_not_square_or_too_big (1024 width or height and non square will use -4444)
 +-8888_if_not_square_or_too_big (1024 width or height and non square will use -8888)
 +-flipv (vertical flip, applies to textures only)
 +-force_alpha (force including the alpha channel, even if its not needed
 +-ultra_compress <0 to 100> (100 is best quality.  only applied to things that DON'T use alpha)
 +-nopowerof2 (stops rtpack from adjusting images to be power of 2)
 +-o <format> Writes final output as a normal image, useful for testing.  Formats can be: png, jpg, or pvr
