GE & Direct 2D

Postby Game A Gogo » Thu Feb 05, 2009 12:10 am

I'm sure some of you heard about Windows 7, and it's great new feature. The Direct 2D!
I was wondering if GE will be able to use this feature in the future, any hopes? Or maybe I'm just stupid and Direct 2D directly works with everything 2D.

I wish that GE used openGL instead. Its much more common in console machines and non windows computers. It would allow for a wider variety of platforms.

There are code for OpenGL too, but need more work.
Search for opengl:test ion the code.
