whoah,

I really wish GE had openGL support

Markslane did attempt to add OpenGL ES support to GameEditor, unfortunately without success.

I would assume OpenGL support for at least Windows or Linux machines would not be as difficult. Guess it does not bother them since most people have very capable processors in their systems -to perform software rendering.

If you use OpenGL with software render for 2D will be slow even in desktops. In 2D you have big and detailed textures, so, I guess this is a big bottleneck .

But I think will be possible to optimize the organization of the textures to make a better use of the memory bus and make the system works.

will be rotation be successful also?

Sure!

YAY!!!

(if it is openGL that means resizing in Game mode right?

)

Same!
I know a whole big list of things I could do with openGL

*thinks about it*

some key things u can do wit OpenGL:
*Render, rotate, scale and color 3d objects, called with the glVertex command
*Rotate, Scale, Use Parallax Scrolling and change the perspective of 2d images.
*RENDER A MATRIX!!! (this is one of my favorites; this allows you to render any number of an object being animated by only doing the verticies for 1 object!)
*use tilemaps
*use a gradient on your objects

I can't wait,
although it's not like it will come out in the next few months or anything like that.

by **Sgt. Sparky** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 1:30 am

yeah, I allready have an Idea for some big water effects stuff!

Zoom out would be great way to test if everything works in your game (in some game types)!
