| Whats it like then? What difference is there, what difference can I expect in the future? I dont have BlitzPlus but have been vaguely interested in it since its release. Ta :) |
| ||
| See the topic labelled: "gfx driver sprite test" |
| ||
| ta, you know what, ill let the support mature a bit first ;) |

| If solid OpenGL is the only reason you will buy BlitzPlus, then yeh, better to wait a while =] Remember of course it's only -2D- OpenGL support. On the other hand, you could start coding stuff now and maybe by the time you've finished whatever it is you have in mind, OGL support will be pretty nice..? <shrug> |
| ||
| But there are userlibs that FULLY implement OpenGL in BlitzPlus, like DirectGL |
| ||
| Ought to note however that it seems you need to include the OpenGL drivers for anyone that doesn't have them on his/her comp. |
| ||
| Everyone with Windows95 and upwards has OpenGL installed on their system by default. |
| ||
| Oh ok, I was thinking of some of the posts in the "GFX driver test" thread. People saying about downloading the OpenGL drivers, and how their cards don't support H/W OpenGL, etc etc.. |
| ||
| Jedive, you mean OpenGL Direct. Includes source! Cool.. Russell |

| Although window's has OpenGL installed by default unless your card has a specific OpenGL driver windows will use software to emulate the OpenGL functions which is VERY slow. |
