Apparently, putting in the OpenGL api is not hard!
Check out this website: (it uses opengl, but does not explain the easiness.)

Yeah, but it wont do 3d (i dont think)as it will just accelerate the 2d!

Thats fine. GE is about cross platform 2D games. Makslane has a focus on a niche market, and there are lots of 3D game making applications out there.

Right. I just wouldn't want anyone to be under the misconception that opengl can be put into GE by end users. i don't even think the new editor would allow this.

And opengl is not hard to learn or use, but integrating it into a complex system is what's hard.

oi, dont YELL AT ME!!!

dont yell at me!!
I just thought it would be good to have OpenGL because you could use parralax scrolling easy, and more people would buy GE if it had it......
:evil: :evil: :evil: JUST PLASE DONT YELL AT ME!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:
I KNOW THERE IS 3D MAKING APPS OUT THERE, BUT HAVING GE'S EASE OF USE AND OPENGL WOULD MAKE KILL GAME MAKER!! :wink:
I EVEN MENTIONED IN MY POST A FREE OPENGL BASED APP FOR MAKING GAMES!!
ITS ONLY FLAW IS IT only has scripting!!!

hmm...
I swear there was a line saying

EDIT:Now I remember! I had once wrote that in a post on another forum (because the person was being silly and thinking of making an adult version to a 10 to 14 year age group game with swear words and stuff, and i thought nobody would buy the no bad words version, so the game would be useless and id get sued for bad language in a kids game...)
That was the one night i had been using an ancient version of Firefox, before I upgraded...but I dont see how this works, PHP is server sided!
EDIT: OK, ive scanned for spyware, and i hade some, so, ya fuzzy didnt yell, I did!
:oops: Yes, that's right smiley, BIG OOPS!
P.S. I now think a kids style game with swearing is a good idea now...no more kid pix, and hello adult pix :lol: (Im only joking, a pornographic game would get banned (like GTA San Andreas in Australia, even tho u needed a hack...)
