| This was asked on the DevTeam forum recently but it shouldn't be a problem if I repost the info here. I assume you haven't read this. GaryV: Have you given any thought to Direct2D for Windows 7 and beyond? Blog MSDN We have been messing with it at work and it is very interesting. Muttley: Apparently the Direct2D API is an utter abomination: http://mollyrocket.com/9115 Warning: Contains strong language Plash: Hahaha.. No. No Direct2D. Please, pretty please, stop with the requests for support for non-portable, locked-down libraries. GaryV: No requests were made here ;) >> Apparently the Direct2D API is an utter abomination Most MS APIs are ;) Nilium: Can we just stick to OpenGL for graphics? I mean, it works on all platforms that matter here, it's got an API that's fairly easy to work with, and this stuff works on more than just Windows Vista onward - it works on everything. You end up with one implementation that works on everything and there's no need to maintain parity between two implementations. The rest of the thread descended into a bit of a fist-fight resulting in a lock, so I won't post that bit here. |
