OpenGL and Elemental

from Elemental Forums

This is for all Elemental Devs Please for the love all that is gaming, are you thinking about using OpenGL for some aspects of Elemental? ATI can not for the life of them run any games well with OpenGL.

I doubt they'll be using OpenGL; SD has historically been a windows based company, which means directX.

"Historically" you'd be wrong as they started on OS/2. ;)

Can't see why they'd develop the game on OpenGL though, not when GalCiv2 runs on DirectX and that's their most recent game.

OK, let me rephrase:  sicne teh collapse of OS/2, they've been pure windows and have stated, strongly, their intention to remain that way :P

Thank god, me and OpenGL have been at odds for sometime now!
