OpenGL 2.0

I just saw on slashdot that OpenGL 2.0 has been released. Is this going to help speed up the TSE OpenGL development?

float foo[16];
And foo has a matrix in it that OpenGL can use, D3D will use it exactly the same way.

Yes, that is correct. If you have something like:float foo[16];
And foo has a matrix in it that OpenGL can use, D3D will use it exactly the same way.

Thing is it depends on other projects which require OpenGL.
So, even though I'm an early adopter, I still have to wait for the OpenGL layer to upgrade to TSE.
OpenGL: the earlier, the better :)

OpenGL is not dead. We are not giving up on it. We are not dragging our feet on it, and under no circumstances will we abandon it, and unless you get me really drunk at IGC and I begin claiming that the world is flat, and redheads were not the best thing God ever invented...no one will ever say otherwise.

Without openGL there probably wouldn't be a mac or linux version. Besides which, it is for the most part easier to write a GL engine, things get tricky on the hardware side where drivers are concerned. Particularly with ATI's poor history in the GL driver side of things.

Heh, to give up openGL would lose garage games 60% of its game sales, I believe that Jeff said the Mac versions of games made up about 60% of total sales.Without openGL there probably wouldn't be a mac or linux version.

I think that statement can be found here on the website somewhere around the section on publishing with GarageGames.

Thomas, for games that ship on all platforms, that figure is just about correct. And now Marble Blast is shipped on every single new iMac... accordingly, it's easy to see that Mac support is important to us. :)

So, you're saying that d3d and ogl use the same representation of matrices in memory, which is column major (iirc) ?
If that's the case, maybe I'll remember it this time :)
Thanks for the heads up
